Re: bodydroppin the sonoma

you should cut off those bag brackets on the lower link bars and center them on the bar. They'll twise the shit out of the bushings if you leave the bags where those brackets are now.

Re: bodydroppin the sonoma

not to be a dick but i dont think your drive shaft loop is strong enough to hold your upper link bar. maybe you are going to add to it but i thought i would put it out there.

Re: bodydroppin the sonoma

nice job. you might want to center the rear lower bag mounts to the center of the lower bar so it doesn't twist and wear out the bushings. i know someone that had bag mounts like that and it was not pretty. the bolts holding the link bars on looked like they were going to snap from the extreme angle! I would just cut off the brackets and drill holes through the bars for the bag bolts. you don't even need a bag circle plate for a 2x2 square bar.

Re: bodydroppin the sonoma

the only reason theyre offset is so i can run re7s in the rear moving them out any farther they would rub the frame.

Re: bodydroppin the sonoma

move the lower bars towards the driveshaft an inch then. Then you can center the bags on the bars
