FYI DOM tube starts as ordinary welded seam tube it is then drawn over a mandrel and pulled through a die This does several things that make it stronger than welded seam tube The more uniform in OD ID and wall thickness make it more structurally sound but pulling it over the mandrel and through the die work hardens the metal changing the grain structure makes it stronger

[@Snakes_N_Crafts]

Any idea what that offset wishbone situation does to your roll center? or it doesn't matter to us in this application maybe.

[@scrapingpavement]

I drive this truck pretty easy, haven't noticed any major roll issues in the last 4 years. If you we're building somthing that was going to go fast and corner harder I would keep the roll center as centered as possible.

[@Snakes_N_Crafts]

@@scrapingpavement Thanks for the reply. I have also seen some older OEM vehicles with an offset upper link, I was considering doing something similar on my truck.

How did the 3 link hold up to the side to side movement? Im going to run coilovers and want to keep the stock floor

[@scrapingpavement]

Truck is still going strong as a daily driver. The roll center being offset leans a little more turning one way than the other ( not noticeable unless paying attention to it ) if you were to locate the single point on the wishbone would solve the slight lean in a corner. Other than that no complaints

[@Davincisgarage]

@@scrapingpavement sweet! Thanks ill post some vids when i do my setup

[@rustbeltmotors3659]

Is it a problem when the bag is at full squish and the convolutions rolls over and touches the bag mounts? I'm running dominator 2500 and my mounts are typical bag on axle brackets. The dominator rubber rolls over quite a bit fully compressed and touches the brackets

[@scrapingpavement]

That's pretty common, ideally you don't want the bag to touch metal. But fully compressed is common in alot of cases. You'll want to check for sharp edges on the brackets them selfs, round over any 90 degree edges or harsh areas with a flap disc and then sand paper to give the most life to the airbag. If its touching smooth metal the bag should last a long time to the point where the bag itself shows wear, like drying out.

I have a 95 hardbody with 5 spoke Titan 18s on it the wheels stick out a little bit. I put 4x4 fenders on the front for clearance what is your suggestion for clearance on the rear?

[@scrapingpavement]

4 things you can do. 1- if you have an h190 axle you can put a datsun 720 axle in which is 1.5" narrower on each side or 620 axle which is 3" narrower on each side and swap third members. 2- pull the shit out of the bed fender ( ugly ) 3- graft 87-89 rear pathfinder quarters to the bed they have a big buldge like front fenders, or some will even graft 4wd front fenders to the bed ( pathfinder quarters look better imo ) 4- lastly you can sell the wheels and get ones that tuck.

[@The_Bearded_B]

@@scrapingpavementThank you always look forward to watching your videos and seeing what's next. The last way is probably the way I will go because I'm not sure if I really like the 4x4 fenders on it

[@travislee2014]

Hey before you put the bags in how was it so low i put blocks in my s10 but it didnt even go that low do i have to remove some leaf springs now to finish lowing my truck plz let me know

[@scrapingpavement]

Well on my nissan I had torsion and drop spindle drop on the front, re drilled leaf hangers, blocks, and mono leafed in the back. For an s10 you cut do drop spindles and drop coils up front or even cut springs. For the back of an s10 you can do drop leafs and blocks, or mono leaf. Or I've actually seen s10 guys flip the overload. Only problem with doing some of those things is the truck will ride like crap.

[@travislee2014]

@@scrapingpavement when you say the truck will ride like crap do you mean you will feel every bump in the road

hi so i lowered a toyota pickup but the driveshaft rubs on this bridge of the frame what can i do about this and did you run into this

[@scrapingpavement]

With the kingcab d21 there a 2 piece driveshaft so dont have to worry about rubbing anything unless it were on 22s or bigger. But I've heard this is an issue with the yotas, most people will notch the cross member for clearence and reinforce afterword. Or some will make a a whole new cross member to go in.

[@hectorrey1876]

scrappingpavement thanks dude like seriously you helped a lot

[@evanthag105]

we actually have found that its better to set the axle at half ride height not where your drive height is, then no matter where you ride the axle is as close as possible to centered. The way shown in the video has been done for years and it works. Just throwing out some more ways of doing it.

What kind of welder i need to this ? Or how big ? I have a hobart 100 mig will i need a bigger one?

[@scrapingpavement]

Ya it is possible with that machine when welding the thicker brackets you'll want to have the amps maxed out for flux core, make sure to bevel your material for you weld to bite in. I would use a larger wire size like .35, try not to use any extension cords the shorter the plug the better.

[@brainnumbing8335]

I’d like to know what allows for the rear axle to roll without binding

[@scrapingpavement]

The ruber bushings allow a bit of side to side movement for average driving. If you wish to go side to side and lean the truck over alot I would recommend heim joints

[@bobseagull7600]

Do theses air bags tighten up as they're lowered? Or are they as squishy when lowered as when they're lifted?

[@scrapingpavement]

It's actually opposite when at full lift there super stiff, and aired down there squishy. Although if you have shocks it counter acts the squishyness at low heights

[@mikeysanchez7914]

Nissan hardbody looking clean you dig nice cleaner work Have a blessed day

[@marklongboy5581]

Did the wishbone suspension have good articulation movement

[@scrapingpavement]

This setup has been handling great, it's more setup to keep the truck flat around the corners but if you wanted side to side articulation you could simply add heim joints.

[@hezekiah5537]

So it's a three link that is great and performs well??.......

[@scrapingpavement]

Decent, I would recommend getting the single pivot closer to the center line of the truck to help the roll axis stay symmetrical.

Great and helpful Video.... How much would you estimate a shop would charge for the job you've done????

[@scrapingpavement]

Just the rear 2k-3k. The whole truck 4k-8k. Honestly depends on the shop and the details. Some shops charge $70+ an hour just for fabrication... but imo you get what you pay for. If you go to a shop and they say they can bag your whole truck for 2k let me tell you it will be a very unsafe and improper job.

[@DREZZ_805]

Would this be the same or at least similar for a 93 Toyota pickup?

[@evanthag105]

yea, i have a very similar setup on my 86, which is almost the exact same as yours. I didnt raise my gas tank and i wish i did, it barely hangs lower so when im rolling low it will hit sometimes. Make sure you make your wishbone as wide as you can like he did, mine is like 4.5" apart and the axle had a bit of sway but when i mounted the shocks they helped locate the axle.

Kool vid bro helped me understand a little better how the setup works I was wondering on the storage tanks, can u have more than 1? Or is it kool to just have 1? Also do u require to have a gauge to monitor the pressure on the tank? Thanks

[@scrapingpavement]

Thanks, i would recommend at least a 5 gallon air tank. But ya you can run multiple tanks or one large but the more air you can hold the more compressors you'll need. I would recommend an air gauge, or if you do a setup like mine with no gauges i run a pressure blow off valve so if the pressure switch doesn't tell the compressor to turn off the valve will release so the tank and or compressor doesn't blow up.

[@MrMelvinkennedy1]

Im having a hard time. Bagging my first truck i cant figure out how to measure for my bag mounts. My bag with air is 8 inches. Without its 3 inches which only gives me 5 inches of travel however to lay frame from where i want ride height my frame is 9 inches off the ground its irritating to say the least. Any help is appreciated

[@scrapingpavement]

What kind of bag do you Have? That is probably just the relaxed height at 8" most bags go from 2.75"- (10.5-12.5") even on a small bag there should be a good 7.5" of stroke. When the airbag is on your control arm you will actually get more lift then that because of the pivot point because of the ratio the bag sits on the arm. That's why some people like to mount there bag on there link bar you can get a 1:2 ratio of lift from the bag so if a bag gets 8" of stroke by having a 1:2 ratio you could get your truck to lift 16" off of the ground.

[@MrMelvinkennedy1]

scrappingpavement i bought them from bagit or chasistech. They are 2500# bags and they are going on a mazda b2200. I pumped 40psi in to the bag and it measured 8 inches and i collapsed it and measured 3 inches. I appreciate your reply

[@scrapingpavement]

Try preseurizing it to 90psi and see what it reads. Don't worry about blowing it up as to most bags can inflate to 600psi

[@MrMelvinkennedy1]

scrappingpavement ok ill try that. I appreciate your help. Nice builds btw i lool forward to learning more from your videos.

[@scrapingpavement]

I just looked up your bag and sure enough it's specs are 2.8-8.5 which is a small amount of stroke. I would recommend getting dominator 2500 for the front which are 2.8-10.5 and dominator 2600 for the rear which are 2.8-12.5.
