About to bag the front...got some questions

alright...I have done several bag jobs on non torsion vehicles...my mazda will be my first....I read through a bunch of random threads, gettin ideas and what not, but I want some pointers and some issues to watch out for...I am considering gettin the suicidedoors.com bracket kit for torsion trucks, since it is pretty complete, step notch and all..for a lil over $200.....I am goin a lil overboard with it..I havea 3/4" ports on my tank, with 3/4 valves, and 3/4 DOT...am I gonna have to worry aqbout breaking anything up front, I will be running roughly 200-250psi of nitrogen. The job looks rather easy, by friends body dropped B is bagged, I was lookin at that, looks like a couple brackets, and removing the torsion bar...nothing too hard...is there some trimming or relocating i need to look for?

What size tires are you gonna use on that thing T? I can link you to the pics of the front of my Mazda. Doug's bagging it now using stock arms and stock spindles...we've cut pretty much everything to get it to lay and it's got massive camber when laid out, lol. I had to get smaller tires cuz 215/45/17's were a little too much to lay out and not relocate anything more. They hit the battery tray and the firewall just as it lays out.

oh..im running timy little pathfinder rims, with likea 235/60 or somethingt on it...they look a lil wide for for the rim, I a looking into maybe some 225/50/15's or something like that...im building this one on a SERIOUS budget, since the Blazer is gonna costa fortune to finish.....and go a head and send me a link.

there ya go....so did you sell your dime? Cuz I know you had that tank made just for it...

well i am in the middle of trading it for a chromed out imitation harley I am still waiting for it to get painted, I will probly trade it to my painter unpainted for the bike. I am gonna build a cheaper air system for it so he can still go up and down. Then i can put the gangster candy purple tank in my mazda, with all the 3/4 equipment..

LoL you're crazy...drive that shit to Oregon! I should have mine there if we can get the motor running in time.

the bike or the mazda...i dont think my ass could handle the bike for that ride...then again, it takes a week for my back to recover after a road trip with the mini.....damn im gettin old

The Mazda...

Oh the mazda will make its rounds this year..I just picked up all the b2600 sheet metal.....are you leaving your stock gas tank in the truck??? I may talk to doug about doin the same rear set up as that for my truck..or at least duplicate the link set up and crossmember...I can set it up and weld it in, I just dont have time to take measurements and pull out my geometry book to figure angles and shit..lol

T

yea it's the stock tank raised up an inch or a little more...if you see any 4x4 sheetmetal for a std cab shortbox at a decent price let me know...I may need the bed cuz of the offset of these wheels and Ezra wants way too much for that shit and he seems to be the only one with the stuff LoL...Doug may be to make some bars for ya, idunno...right now we're just trying to get this thing and his blazer on the road in time for Oregon
