so peter, you were able to put your bag brackets that low on the frame and still lay out??
bagdb2200   +1y
No, those last 2 pics are the truck Doug is bagging right now, it's a Nissan. The first 2 are my Mazda...the brackets are almost at the top of the frame

what angle are those upper brackets at?? or does it just look like it is angled up??
bagdb2200   +1y
They're at an angle, but I couldn't tell ya what it is off the top of my head. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's gonna be different from truck to truck depending on tire size, drop spindles or not, flipped balljoints or not, what type/brand of bag etc....

Someone back me up with this, cuz i havent done it (right) yet, but i believe the corrects way to find the angle of your top bag mount is to get your lower one on, put your bag compressed on the lower mount, put your spindle/tire on your c-arms, jack up the tire so its level with the bottom of the frame, then tack in your top mount, remove your tire & bag, then fully weld it in..

Damn! i missed a step: ...jack up the tire so its level with the bottom of your frame, tack in your upper mount PARALLEL TO YOUR LOWER MOUNT (SO YOUR BAG IS STRAIGHT AND STRESS FREE WHEN COMPRESSED, remove your tire....
