Wanted to get some advice and opinion’s on putting bags on bar’s on full size chevy for towing. Just a standard 2 link and see if anyone has some pics of if it done that way.
I have been told that if you plan on towing you should stay away from puting the bags on the bar. over the axel is the way to go, so i've been told. hope this helps
if your gonna be towing alot id go over axle with large bag if only gonna be towing occaionally you can go bag on bar but id keep the bag real close to the axle
I know this one guy who had a older chevy dually with slam re8 bags on the upper 4 link bars, they were mounted closer to the axle. But anyways we made about a 8 hr trip each way to Tennessee in it pulling an enclosed trailer with a yota in it and i thought it rode great.
yea, aslong as its really close to the axle and the lift ratio isnt too much, on the bars will be fine. But, the further away you get from the axle, the more stress it will see. Taylor
--------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Layumon22s would there be any real ride difference between a bag on axle versus a bag really close to the axle setup? --------------------------------------------- the bag on the bars versus on axle will have a softer ride. --but are you asking on the axle or bar for ride with a trailer? trailer adds weight wich makes the bag work correctly, thus making the ride seem softer.. im guessin the real question we all are thinking is "how big of a trailer, and what are you towing with it..?" that info will help you out greatly..
---------------------------------------------Originally posted by loweredforlifewell we are trying to get as much lift as possible but at the same time able to pull jus a 20ft trailer and 4 door truck if that helps any---------------------------------------------yea, the trailer is 16' duel axle (1400 lbs.) and the 4-dr probly be about 3000lbs . thanks
