Pics of the hack job on my truck.

Sometimes i wonder about people

Notice the broken welds, and Where the bag was rubbing the METAL Bump Stop.

Smoothing out the plate

Where the metal bump stop was hitting.

Im loving the craftsmanship here

2 gashes in the bag

Welded Mounting Stud...(thats safe)

Another bag, another gash

The light brown part on the bottom of the bag is where there is a hole.

Look at all the jagged edges

I don't know airbags, but those look like hell. :nonono:

Ya me and my father spent 20+ man hours the last 2 days fixing everything. Took the bags out of the rear, New shocks all the way around, we smoothed things up with the grinder, cut some corners smooth, i re-welded the plate.

Really now all i need is a C notch in the rear (found out its a 6in drop) and get a new bag for the front (has a slight leak) and i should be good till i do the new bag setup.

How was the ride?

well now it rides great, i need the notch in the rear and it will ride like a cadi, but before it was horrible, every little bump in the road would bounce me out of the seat.

anyways hopefully it rides a little better than it did before

Im working on it man. I bought the exact same deck i had in the stang cause #1 i loved the memory stick #2 the one in the mustang was hacked up when someone tried to yank it.

I already ordered 2 new bags for the front, and im taking it to a friend of mine that does crazy bag setups for a living and hes going to notch the rear. After that whenever i get my tax return check in, im going back up to Kwik Kar (where i used to work and my buddies still work) and im going to overhaul this thing.

It has dark oil
Brake fluid needs to be flushed
i have a tranny pan gasket leak
rear diff leak

so i will prob fix all that, do an engine flush before new oil goes in. And replace all fluids with Royal purple. Its going to cost me $500 or so but should be worth it.
