2004 Toyota Tacoma Air Ride Suspension - Baggin' The Rear Of A Tacoma

17. A rear crossmember is measured and cut out, then welded into place.

18. Next, the link bar end mounts are cut out. Bobby already has pre-measured templates built to speed up the process.

20. With the link end mounts cut, the distance from the frame to the link bar is measured and the link ends are centered.

21. Once the mounts are level and centered, they are welded into place.

23. Moving onto the link bars, we measured and cut out the necessary tubing and the adjustable ends are TIG welded.

24. With the bottom links bolted into place the front tabs can be measured and tacked.

26. After the bottom bars are taken care of Bobby builds the top wishbone to keep the rear end from rotating.

27. The front of the wishbone is gusseted and the rest of the link is welded up. After that, Bobby begins to build a bridge off the notch for strength.

29. With all the link bars done and the bridge work taking form, the 'bag placement comes next.

31. After the bags are mounted, the shock is mocked up.

32. And there it is. With a little patience and a lot of careful measuring a brand new truck can be 'bagged and driven daily.
