Need pics of front bag setup on 1983 B2000

I have read thru many posts on a couple different sites and just want to see the bag mounts and how you guys have attatched them. Im getting ready to bag the front of my truck and need pics to look at for reference.

Im guessing raising the control arm mounts versus z'ing the frame is going to be easier in the long run,no need to modify steering box and linkages etc,but saying that im new to the game and could be totally wrong so please feel free to correct me!

Is there any advantages or disadvantages to each method?

Any help would be great

Kris

not my truck, a buddy of mine!

well frist off you cut that big a$$ spring pocket off cover that hole and use the basic set up for the top mount that fatboys s10 posted and i'm not rasieing the control arms or zing it onece your drag that little bit off the control arms it will lay crossmeber and it just barley dosent lay in the front but lays hard in the rear it will look something like this

but if you want it to lay all the way out im thinkin zing it would be easyestohh and talk to slammed83mazda he can help you alot too

thankx russ do u know if the bag rubs those bolts when ridn low cause i had that prob , and i want to flip my balljoint, but i think my bag will eat that those bolts up and tell ur buddy that shit lks good

here are some picks of my old courier which has the same suspension i cut the factory spring pocket out and re-plated the hole then came up with a unique front bag set-up but torsion bar bag kit from ssd will work fine but make sure you angle them with the lower a arm and also i plated the lower a arm and raised the bag mount up 1/4" so the bags didn't rub the arm to much

sorry for the huge Pict's
