Bagged Colorado

[Tgags88]

New to the forum and figured I show one of my current rigs from the PNW.

04 Colorado, 4.0 straight 6 on propane, nv3550 and double np231s. Hp 60 front 5.38s air locker and air bags, 10.5 rear with 5.38 on trailing arms and bags. Full interior DOM cage and lots of other rad stuff. Suspension is amazing with 12” of front travel and 19” rear.

Super rad truck!! I’ve only seen bags on a few trucks. why didn’t end up going with bags?

I was expecting to see a Colorado laying frame, but this does not disappoint

Talk about different. This thing is awesome. Desert style links, SA, and Jeep 4.0. Not something you see every day

Oh hell yea this is not what I was expecting when I saw the Bagged Colorado thread title! How does it ride? I'd imagine it would be pretty rough like a lower bagged truck going down the road?

What he said , shift knob from a big rig with the splitter lever

It is a big rig shifter that I have set up to run my air lockers with the splitter switches

Yup, I have my air lockers plumbed through it

It’s an Eaton big rig shifter that I have my air lockers plumbed through on the splitters

It rides awesome, haven’t done any high speed stuff but logging roads and wheeling is great

That’s a good idea

What airbags did you use and do you have any tips or tricks on setting up a rig with airbags? Anything you would do differently?

Airbags typically ride really nice, and aren’t stiff or harsh. Hydraulics on the other hand are usually very stiff and are typically what you see on cars bouncing down the road. Those too can ride really nicely with the use of accumulators in the system but not everyone runs large ones, most run smaller to get that quick hop setup.

This thing is way cool. Being able to essentially remove spring rate and increase it on demand would be huge in situations like climbing waterfalls and other obstacles. Way cool man!
