death.

Mr Big, or Mr Evil (which do you prefer) What all is involved in bagging a hearse? This might make a good tech article.

I didn't go to evil medical school for 10 years to be called mister!.........but seriously.
This entry should probably be moved to technical, but here it goes. The rear of the car is pretty easy. A couple of leafs out of the spring are removed, some cutting and reinforcing the frame, and installing what look like oversized air shocks. The front is a little tougher. The springs are removed, the frame is cut and reinforced, the lower control arms are reinforced, and the shocks are relocated. You also need to mount an air tank, a good size air compressor, wiring, gauges, switches, and air lines. On a 1-10 this would be a 7-8 because of welding, torching, and electrical. Here is a good article to look at.

I think I speak for most of the fabricators on this board when I write that EVERYTHING should be reinforced when you modify a car weighing in at almost 10,000 lbs.

even with it weighing that much ive seen duallys bagged pulling 3 car car haulers. it all depends on how the job was done. if u dont beat the hell out of it or run really high pressures reinforcements can be mild to none what so ever.
