KP Components Also sells a bolt on rear kit. They sell a gas tank crossmember also that raises your tank, but I would still recommend going with a Fuel cell because your tank is going to hit the ground whenever you lay out, NOT SAFE.Front bag mounts---- These will be in the form of some sort of "cups" Some companies use all thread to bolt them in, some don't but all are usually the same. 5 inch diameter tube on top of a round circle bag plate. Somewhere in the 3 inch top and 2 inch bottom range.
Rear bag mounts--- most people fabricate up some nice mounts out of tubing, 1/4 plate, etc... or just buy a univeral set... either way you gotta have em.
8 inch + monster notch-- if ya wanna lay frame like the bad boys do you need a rear frame notch-- This can be fabricated, or bought. Usually comes in 8 pieces for around the 50.00 mark plus shipping. Requires welding skillz.
2 Link, 3 link, 4 link---- most recomended is a 4 link, b/c of pinoon angle changes, geometry etc... This allows the back to get down on the ground. installation of the 3 or 4 link requires removal/relocation of the gas tank unless its a parrelell 4 link.
The 98+ trucks have a low hanging trans crossmember. This can be replaced by a bolt in unit from 3rdshiftkustoms.com or a custom one from 515 Customs.
Air management sytem-- bags, valves, air lines, fittings, tank, compressor guages, and switches. These parts can be bought seperately or in a packeage deal.
Fuel cell-- if you wanna lay out you have to move the fuel tank. This requires the use of a fuel cell with stock pump mounted in it or reloaction of the stock tank.
One alternative way to get your truck down is by doing a Z of the front frame rails. This is a lot of work and I have yet to gather good info on this mod.
Some of the parts listed above can be fabricated if you have competent welding and metal working skillz, just be sure to use appropriate materials.
Baging your ride does require some metal working skills (welding cutting etc...), good knowledge of how the suspension works, Plumbing skills for running air lines, and electrical wiring to wire it all up. Oh and it does help to have a friend on hand.
