Today, I finally ordered a few parts to get the bagging started! Ordered the bridge / notch, front bag cups, shock relocation, and rear bag brackets. I'll be ordering the air management stuff tomorrow night. I can't wait! I'm going to just mono leaf it until december when I'll put a four link in. Although, I still have to get some awoooooo wheels...

I'm going to have so much to do on my truck - I have a whole list of little the badger things to do. I'm so stoked.

I was planning on redoing them later anyways because I'm going to get an 8.8 when I do the four link.

I will also have to redo the bag mounts anyway, I'm going to run a superlift four from SD. What I'm going to do is while I have the bed off, I'm going to take all my measurements for the four-link, put everything back together, then during Christmas break this year, install the four link.

It's not the destination, it's the journey.

Well, I'm not worried about the front, there's only one way to do that and have it work. The only reason I'm doing the rear like that first is because I do not want to take the bed off just to make the measurements for the four link. If i'm going to take the bed off, I'm cutting something!

haha i like that, its always fun to cut stuff. it just never bothered me cuz the bed comes off so easy. even after i bagged mine, everything is on the frame. nothins mounted in the bed so it still comes off like stock.

I've never taken the bed off, so I was just assuming it wasn't going to be fun - like what about all the electrical items and the fuel tank filler?

its easy, all you need is a t-55 hex bit for the bed bolts. a philips screw driver for the tail lights and a small wanus socket and ratchet for the fuel filler neck. take the tail lights out and the wireing from under the bed, its attached. take the six bed bolts out and the 3 bolts holdin the filler neck in and just lift it off.
