bagging questions 97-03 f150

sorry ... e_mail

Taylor,
Did you ever find the pics of those arms? Did you install them on the truck as well? Any pics?

bump for pics

i finally got the truck bagged and to where it drives really well . i raised the factory upper control arm 3'' originally i swapped passenger for driver but this made for really unstable driving (i wouldn't recommend doing so) . i used djm lower control arms heavily modified where the whole RE8 bag sits down in side of the arm (i did not need to notch the frame) for the ball joint i flipped it and used a 1990 1/2 ton chevy 2wd lower ball joint. for the steering i moved the inner tie rod ends in i don't remember the exact measurement but it was about 2 1/2 inches that made the tie rod length closer to that of the lower control arm solving my bump steer problem. sorry for the crappy write up.. if i left anything out that you would like to know let me know

wow man, be care full on that.

What problems were you having with the control arms swapped?
my supercrew has 10k or so miles since bagged and I have never noticed anything bad about my arms being swapped

Taylor good looking out on going up with full pressure after i recently put regulators on it to make adjustments more manageable i should have done 3/8 line instead of 1/2.

Navi. It seemed to throw off my caster so much i couldn't hardly keep the thing on the road. when you had your truck aligned could they get it in to spec? do you have any drive ability issues? did you have to mod your steering at all?

thanks for the input guys

The tie rods had about 3/4" cut off the threads so it could be adjust in more.

It aligned close enough.


I also drive at a really low ride height on the open road.

can u adjust it all the way up and all the way down on the free way with out any problems?
i wasn't able to but now i am.
