I haven't seen anything about this so I have to ask. It might sound lame but I think it might be good for me. I am by no means a suspension master. Come to think about it, that is the one area of my B that I've avoided. Makes me nervous
So my question is this...does anyone have a project plan written out on how to bag a mini? I know its a vague question but I don't need indepth. I just need a nice overview. I know there are many steps to it and if I ever wanted to do it, I would need the steps. I ask for a few reasons. I am doing a project management class and I couldn't think of a better project than to bag my B. I wanted to do my project plan on something I didn't know about. Plus, when I get my bach degree, I want to do the project. I don't want to pay someone else to do it. Where's the fun in that right?
I've read post after post and have many ideas on how to do it, from c-notching the frame to pricing bags. My project wouldn't start until Feb at the earliest.
I'm simply wondering if anyone has ever written any plans out on how their project came along. If not, then I'll attempt to build one from scratch.
Thanks all!

1. Buy All Your Equipment (bags, brackets, lines, wire, swtichbox, valves, fittings, notch, compressors, tank, gauges) everything
2. Bust out your welder and sawzall and dont be afraid lol
3. Cut off your front shock mounts and grind smooth flush with frame
4. Weld upper and lower bag brackets, and be certain to install gussets on the upper
5. Put the bags in and run the lines
6. Weld in your notch and cut out excess frame rail.
7. Weld bag brackets to either 4-link or axle
8. Weld upper crossmember for rear bags to gain support from
9. Install bags in rear and run lines
10. connect lines and fittings to tank and compressors
11. Run wires for switchbox


its not everything to detail lol but its a sketchy overview of things

and pressure switch, and relays.
that's a pretty good outline list...
just so you know blkrain... there's a lot more to it than that!!

Also put the bag in first to mock it up so your sure it will in deed lay out, then mark a line or so were the bag mount is gonna go. Remove the bag and put your mount back up and weld away.

Hey thanks guys! It is a good start and I know there's plenty to be done. I think this is a good exercise so that I can get a good idea of what needs to happen. Not having anyone to turn to locally to help me out with this, it should be interesting. It will take me 7 weeks to build out this project so perhaps I'll post for you guys to check it out.
Again, thanks!!

oh and another thing. there's a lot more to it than you think. you'll plan and plan and it'll be perfect. but then you'll run into something completely unexpected and unplanned for. never fails....
