Default Anyone here have one?

A fast as hell truck that is bagged?

I'm thinking about after I get everything done (Looks and speed), maybe bagging the truck for some more looks, but I don't know how good it will go with the performance aspect....

Whats his best times? Does he have problems launching or anything with the bags or does the extra weight affect him at all?

I will. As far as timeslips go I'm hoping for low 13's with a little forced induction . Air bag systems operate really well when set up properly and I will be more concerned about my drivetrain failing before the suspension will.

IF you do it right, you might see improved time with just the bag setup, seein as tho you'll be 4-link or better. Weight might negate some of the extra traction, so might not, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. There was an article in truckin a while back with a bagged 454SS, had a 502 in it iirc, or maybe it was blown, I can't remember. I do recall that it ran like mid/low 12's.

IntroWheels has a bagged truck on 22's and has his truck Blown. I'm sure it's deep into the 13's on bags and 22's.

And also, DroppedGMC from GMFS(i think his name is different on this board) just bagged his reg cab, which also has 22's, and his truck pretty damn fast as well.

but yeah.. when I had the STS on there, i was considering a 4 link and bags over coilovers.

I can't be certain on this with the Canti-lever setups, but I think that you would get too much squat on this setup in the rear, so you might need some proper rated sleeve bags(which I was looking into)

... afterall, anything can be done
