    Hey how's it going, well I currently have a 2007 F-150 Supercrew. At the moment its lowered on 3in belltech loweing springs, and 5in flip kit at the back while sitting on 24's. Now I wanna bag my truck, I'm not trying to lay frame, but would love the look of it being bagged. I also wanna be able to put a bit of weight on the back, since I just bought a new house not long ago and plan on doing a alil bit of work when I get back from my deployment. I have an idea of how everything works and what not, but i would love some help. I'm currently in afghanistan and wanna start ordering some parts here soon so I can get some work done on it while I'm on leave. I'm not mechanically challenged, I do work on helicopters in the military, and I'm a quick learner, so I'm not looking to dropping off my truck at a shop anytime soon. So if there's anyone out there that could give me a hand, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I wouldn't buy them so much in pieces there in there but buy the entire system, this way you know you got everything to do the job.

    I know firestone makes an air ride system, I'm sure there are other out there.

    Ridetech makes a kit that would accomplish what you want. Kind of expensive though

    Some of the pre-fab kits are the way I'd go, but they can be pricey too. C-Notch isn't that big of a deal anymore as it was in the past. There's a ton of kits out that make it fairly straight forward and simple.

    As far as the bags and the plumbing for them, I have no clue. All I've ever had is static drops. Thomas, 4ctnduction and Zach know more about bagging then me. I'm sure they'll chime in here shortly.

    Welcome aboard, by the way.
