With Michigan Metalworks arms can I run a slam r8 in the front?

As long as you cut the hell out of the spring pocket.

I have been going back and forth and whether I want to lift or bag my truck. Its my daily, and I have always been more of a street rod guy than an off road guy. So Im lowering it. Just trying to do some research and I am a noob. From what I am hearing when bagging my truck I would need a 4 link to help aid in the changing pinion angle? I have an extended cab with a two piece driveshaft. Any info helps or any links to more info helps too TIA.

Although everything you need to know is in these threads, a quick run down. Yes a 4 link will help control pinion angle. a 3 link will as well. a 2 link like i have has a set pinion angle and at full lift gets whacked out. I don't drive full lift so don't bother me.

your front can be done with stock control arms or aftermarket arms depending on how big of a wheel you want to lay is how much work or money you spend.

feel free to ask, but also make sure you go thru and read thru here.

Bagging my 96 c3500, soon to be LS swapped CCLB dually. I've got the front figured out, what is my best option on the rear? I see somebody used the KP 4 link that bolts on, somewhere on the forums. Would that work? I'm lost when it comes to setting up a four link. And for occasionally towing a truck around what would be all around the best bag to use and best bag placement for that type of use. TIA

Has anybody used the michagan metalworks arms?
Starting to gather parts to bag mine, and was looking at these.

What parts do you have? I️ was looking into airbaggit website for parallel 4link, pan hard, and control arms and brackets to hold bags in the rear. Just wondering what’s a solid brand product to go for. Something not too expensive but good quality

I have the Ekstensive Metalworks kit. Still trying to decide if I am going to get the Michigan Metalworks arms. But I think I am. Like the way these trucks look with the wheel moved a little forward in the wheelwell.

Just bagged front of 98 silverado with d2600 bags and 1/4 air line but barely raises about an 1'' anything I'm doing wrong

I have had modified stock arms and now own MMW arms. I think if i was to do it over i would order a set of Kesler Engineering arms. Not sold on flat plate arms.

Jrswerks tell us more about setup. Sounds like something is binding or not enough air preasure to raise truck
