Questions about baggin my 98 silverado

Now that it is summer i actually have time to bag my truck. Ive never done this before but i have my uncles that build competition rock-crawlers helping me out. I have a few questions before i do it though. I need to know everything that needs to be done, such as possible places to move the computer, will i need to cut into the firewall, cutting the fender wells, will i need to modify my exhaust,what kind of compressor and bags to get, stuff like that. Also right now i have 20" rims and my tires are 275 45 20, can i stick with this set up or should i go with smaller tires and different rims? And if anyone has some helpful tips to make it easier and quicker. Pictures would help a lot too. Thanks

i know you goin to have to rebuild a cross over pipe, botch for the tire rods, 20s wouldnt have to cut much in the frt thou dont think you have to cut into the firewall unless there 22s but search on here and there should be guys that can help you out

You will have to cut the inner fenders or remove them. I removed mine and made some new ones that don't rub the tire. You will also have to trim the fender lip or have it rolled. The upper bag cup wil have to have 2" taken off of it, which I still need to do to mine, and notch the frame for the tie rods like mentioned above.

depends on the cups you run thou some of them you dont have to cut down at all

if u set it up for 22's the 45's will work

id just get 35's and minor trimming will lay and not rub up front but your prolly gonna run into problems with ur tire rubbing the back fender.. alot of that body style trucks do that with big tires ... rub and heat damage to the paint

as far as bagging it.. everyone makes cups for that year... a little frame notching up front and back will get u on the ground.. ur allso gonna need drop spindles 2.5" i do believe..
we got everything you need if u wanna get into more detail pm me

this is relative to which kit or who makes it.



you will definitely need to take those inner fenders out.

might wanna try to find some 255/35/20's though, it will help, and give less things to cut.

what about for 17s with 45 series rubber?

I HAD TO TAKE THE FRONT INNER WELLS OUT AND CUT A FEW INCHES INTO THE SUPPORTS TO CLEAR. I RUN A 35 SERIES TIRE ON 20'S. DO YOU WANT TO LAY?

ya i want it tl lay frame. Eventually im gonna body drop it aswell. I have a pretty good idea on what to do i just dont want to do it then test it out and find out its not laying...ya know? I just want to make this as easy as possible

Your also gonna need to trim the upper control arms near the mounts.
