Bagging a 2005 avalanche

I def have a thing for bagged avalanches, for some reason really like them! Cannot wait to see your work on this thing Brett.

word...I'd love to see my truck on air, but no more homie hookups for this guy! And nfamus wants a shit ton, which I am sure they are worth it, but not in my budget at all. I'd like to do shit in my garage, pay someone for their time, and also learn something while doing it.

Your truck would be sick on air as we saw with wickeds. Hope you are able to manage one day and yes, nfamus is expensive and well worth it. I went with them for peace of mind on the build and the guys I would have originally built it with (Ryan with the bagged red 2500 with nnbs front and Dustin with the bagged blue old school truck) but with Dustin moving and everyone just doesn't have the right timeframe or schedule, it would have taken forever to build if we would have ever got to it in the first place.

Same here, nfamus is soo fucking slow also.

Currently a month and half behind schedule.

So what's the going price for a start to finish these days?

NFamus basic bag build was 8k last year when I quoted it, might be 9k now though, not sure
 
When you go to some of the best in business you're going to have to pay. I charge about $5000 to do a job with standard valves and 22's or smaller. I don't have near the payments ou they have though.
 
Yeah, when all is said and done, I'll walk away with spending 14k there because I keep adding crap...already told him I'll probably be back for adjustment to body on 26's, but I want to focus on interior and motor next

It's extremely expensive to build but you also have to take the jobs as they come. If someone wanted a suspension like mine, it would put them closer to 10,000. This avalanche would be about a $10,000 job, but my labor is free to get my name out there

I kind of wish you were closer and knew you were trying to get out there like that because I def would have talked with you about my truck. You do good work man and I'm sure you will get out there.
 
Fuck. God damn it, move to Texas already. I'd happily pay $5k for a good setup. Anything over that and I'm out. I just can't justify it.

Fuuuuck. This makes me want to bag my Suburban. But I been thinking........ I don't wanna lay rocker or even lay frame for that matter. I'd actually like to just be low, but then air up when I want to ride higher over rough roads and shit. I guess what I'm getting at is that is that it'd be nice to ride lowered about 4/6 or even 5/7 but then be able to raise back up to stock height or even 2 inches above stock height at the flip of a switch if I want to. Maybe if I start making enough $$ with this new job promotion, I can actually start modding my suit some more. But I think an HD front end would probably be first on my priorities though as far as mod money.

That would be very simple on a suburban. The rear is already a link setup. Direct swap bags in place of the springs and your done. The front I would do with just a set of shock waves bolted where the shock mounts and a drop spindle. You could have 6" of travel with them up front and not have to change anything else. It would be an awesome ride and relatively cheap in relation to buying new arms.

Would this be the same for a 4x4 truck? Or would the rear be different?
