Been welding 15 years. Yes most weight is on the bags.

Keep your templates/blueprints make.a.kit and you will easy recoup your cost and make a tidy profit. This has been bantered around here numerous times.

I had the same thought as Stan, your welding ability is not the problem can the tubing handle the stress and load that driving will put on it

I know. I had the same questions a lot of research and came up with the best plan of attack. The tubing is 4130 1" the tube the holds the shock is solid. The part that is welded to the original lower is also solid from the lower to the start of the bend. Basically a solid rod welded through the lower and slide over the 4130 tubing through the lower welded all the way around twice at the lower lower was also braced more on bottom. I should have took step by step pictures didn't think that so many people liked the big mopars on bags. I hope this makes sense but I "ain't no engineer" just crazy and I have a welder.

This is awesome: "I "ain't no engineer" just crazy and I have a welder".

OK, so I'd never do this, but I have a morbid fascination here. Looking at the pic, you are keeping the stock upper and lower control arms, but the front stabilizer, sway bar and torsion bars are gone. If the bags expand and contract, why do you still need the shocks? What replaces the front stabilizer bars? Won't this beast be rocking from side to side without them?

 

[Bagged67]

The shocks job is to nothing but control how fast the bag compresses and rebounds. If you drove on smooth roads only no need for shocks. As for the sway bar stabilizer I ain't slinging it into corners or drag racing. Just cruising slow and low.
