Post some pics of ur setups just looking for clean simple setups .....I need some ideas for when I do mine this winter

 

You mean like a boa constrictor?

 

lol, i used to have a couple red tail boa's. wish i still did.

boa in this thread is

bag
on
axle

 

whew! was just about to post some pics of my brown tree snake (mini boa)!

 

I wouldnt suggest BOA setups really. Mine used to be BOA and rode like garbage and didnt get the lift i wanted it to. BOB is really easy and you have to buy a 4 link if your going to do either setup correctly anyway so might as well get thicker bottom bars or gusset it and make your own cups on the bars. Trust me when I say you would be so much happier doing bag on bar. My 2 cents of course.

 

what about candos bolt on setup?

 

Good luck getting your parts anytime this year. It's just Steve in the shop now and he has nobody else helping him out. He also is running two other business'. I still have yet to get my notch kit.

 

Ya steves super busy he was talkin abou selling everything from cando like jigs and **** an helping the new owner get off there feet. I told him to just hire someone but he said noone welds good enough for him to hire. But i have a bag behind axle with shocks and it actually doesn't ride bad at all and gets more lift than I like. ( I don't bag trucks for lift) but my BOB gets mad lift an rides nice. But will be changed for an IRS with cantilever

 

ive thought bout running bag on bar....prob is im wanting to hide everything under the bed....doubt i could with b.o.b setups??

 

With a bag on bar you have a better chance of hideing everything. Only thing you'll have to cut for is the notch like lit said. But it's your truck man do what you want. My bed floor is cut to hell an back lol I didn't care an new I would sheetmetal it up eventually. Now I wish I woulda just raised it the amount I needed but once I swap my IRS I wouldn't have needed it raised tht much. So I'm stuck with a huge hole literally the length of the bed but o well live an learn. Heresthe setup in my runner bag behind axle rides great decent lift

 

Im going to sheetmetal my bed with a notch cover an all...I might even bring my notch cover up to the top of the bed rail an take it to the front of the bed....then il build some brackets to hold everything up outa the way...any suggestions for a gas tank/fuel pump

 

Everything can be hidden under the bed if you know what your doing..can be done a few different ways but Yota4lifes is a good setup so is Litneons. My stuff is above the bed but when I do my raised bed floor everything will be under it. As far as a gas tank if you do a reverse like Litneon then you can leave the tank where it is. There is also plenty of room behind axle to place stock tank or a fuel cell if you make another crossmember between the frame rails. If you get a fuel cell then there are a few factors to consider...my main concern is the fact it will be in the garage for the 5 months we have crappy weather so I need something with foam inside to soak up any water seperation while it sits. If it werent for the fact I love rollin Cali Id use my factory tank and stick it under the rear end like Yota4lifes but I would eventually drag a hole in it unless it was slightly raised through the floor.

 

Ya both my tanks are off the ground an I usually ride Cali or as low as possible. When I first set my gas tank in my ex cab I had the back dropped all the way and it hit. So I raised it up to the top of the frame and it clears fine. My runner is the same way it was raised to the top of the frame. Like I said I always ride Cali and not scared to hit my tank ever. But my runner rides surprisingly great with the bag behind axle with shocks.

 

Rear end down, front up!

 

Yep u ride Cali my good man.

 

This topic is givin me better understanding of my planning. BOAs BOBs minitruckn acronyms!! Im with the che'lu I almost put a pik of a snake on here!! Good thread!

 

That's what I get when i haul stuff around
