so i got a bagged 91 toyota, i got the shock bracket kit from airbagit.com... im just wondering if anyone has used this kit or has any pics on where or how they mounted their front shocks after bagging their toyota.. i cant stand the way it rides with no front shocks anymore haha.. any help is appreciated thanks dave.

 

Well, somehow you have to mount them just behind the control arm. It's just akward to make a strong mounting point when the bag is in the original shock location. You need to figure out the location and setup as there is not a specific way to do it. Triangulating your lower arms may help to get a better mount.

 

i figured it out,, i cut the upper shock mount down, welded it on right behind the upper arm, then cut a hole in the lower a arm with a torch, cleaned it up and put the lower bolt in, tightened that lower bolt about half of the threads, then put it on a slight angle to match the upper mounts angle,, and welded it on like a mother F'er!! works great, i also redid my back shocks from how they were on before,,

 

i mounted mine off the lower control arm to the top part of adjacent frame there... i would recomend while mocking up lay a 2x4 flat on the ground then lay the truck out on it tack then check for travel so the shock wont stop the truck from having its full travel

 

I am running Slam bags up front. But I don't think I want to mess with my Cando lowers by drilling holes in them and such. They are just too nice!
Pics would be great you guys! I once was searching for front shock pics for our trucks and I only found 1 or 2 good pics I think.
I was kinda thinking of getting a tig welded shock bracket or bolt on the cando lowers of mine and making a shock hoop welded to the side of the frame for the upper shock mount. I was just eyeballing it the other day and the firewall looks kinda close to where I would need to put the upper shock hoop. Might have to make my tubs even bigger

 

im running stock upper and lower A arms,, i wanna get tube upper A arms, but seems the places ive found only sell them in sets, or dont wanna bother returning messages (cando specialties) must be to busy for new customers,,,, ill post up some pics when i get a few minutes,,, i have the chassis tech denominator 2 bags on front,, not sure if they are worth a sh*t but i didnt know anything about air ride when i started messin with my truck, i got contitech bags on rear,, also thats where i messed up,, i lost only about a 1/4 to 1/2" of down travel cause i didnt do the 2x4 thing,, i realized it once it was to late,, i dont wanna cut the mount off now haha,,, body drop time,,

 

What I did on my 88, Slam RE6 bags , CanDo arms, Doeschtec shocks . The shock tower is gusseted !

 

mine are done in the same area,, it doesnt limit your turning ability

 

Thanks for da pic

 

Bump,that!
No change. I also welded a turn stop @ the front, that contacts the stock nylon piece!

 

MAN, that is TOO sweet! Now I have a pic to take to my welder!

 

I want to see some more pictures of your truck Mutiny.
