Andy, you can build bag brackets that go up and over the axle mount for the 4-link. That's how I had it setup before I did the cantilever on mine. You'll just need to move the upper mounts up accordingly. I could probably build a set of lower mounts for you if you want..just let me know.

ok yea wow im not sure why i typed that but lets try again
im stuck in a way and kinda need some help to be put in the right direction.
and last night i made a notch for the drive shaft crossmember even tho i dont think ill need it i made it to put in there any way.
i still dont know which would be the best way to go as far as the 4 link cause i do have the ias one which if i installed would work with my tire size im running now 15w/50 series tires but i am gonna upgrade to maybe 17 18 inch rim later on
and then once i figure that i still comtimplating on were to put the bags cause i know the over the axle isnt a bad setup but i was also maybe thinking the behind and below setup but they say you must watch your psi with the f9000 and i know i would probly over inflate them so im stuck on this issue also
so any help you guys can give would be great thanks later andy

that weld looks pretty narrow andy, not trying to be negative, im just saying. doug knows more about the F9000 than i do, but he did tell me one time that larry had some on a blazer i think, or something, and he was beating on the system like no other, sending lots of psi to the bags, and it took a long time before one of them gave way. you really don't have to worry bout it that much i don't think, the main thing is probably over extending them and having them compress to much. why not just do what doug suggested and make the back mounts be above the 4 link tabs?

there isnt enough room on the blazer frame to do a bag on bar set up properly...I promise. A bag on the axle, set up over the link bar mounts is going to be your best bet. I ran the F9000's for almost 2 years at 175 psi all day, never an issue, and Larry finally blew his at dropzone year before last, running them to 300 psi and hopping the shit out of the blaze  As for the weld, what machine are you using? Bret's right, that weld looks narrow, and pretty tall. I'm also not seeing much heat discoloration outside the weld, looks to be a little on the cold side to me. How thick is that box tube? How did you prep it? Not trying to be an ass either, just looking out for your best intrests. Even though it's "just a driveshaft crossmember" it's still a structural member with stresses on it, and if it fails, you're in trouble.. |

andy if you really wanted to, you could come over to my place and i could weld some of that stuff up for you, like bring that notch over and i could grind down the weld and grind a groove in it and put in a realy nice hot pass, that is if you want to. my truck is in the shop due to a blown rear end (not happy) and so i should be around all day tomorrow, and also on saturday i will be around all day, and monday...work sucks right now. but yea, if you wanted to you could bring it over. you shouldn't have to much problem with that welder, just turn it all the way up, maybe even preheat the metal a little bit before you weld it up, and a bevel would help out good to.
