I don't think I have any photo's, but what I did was remove the metal spacer that bolts to the axle for the bump stop to hit. I drilled and tapped it so I could bolt the cradles directly to it. I figured out location by installing the bags and just setting the cradles in place. I jacked the truck back up and marked the bolt locations for the cradles. Removed the spacers, drilled and tapped them. Then installed them back on to the axles. Hope that makes sense. It sounds complicated, but it really wasn't. Circled below is the spacer I was talking about. You can even see where I marked the ouline of the craddle and wrote DR for driver's side.8ball_99 how did you mount the Daystar cradles to the bottom mounting plates? I’m about to drill and tap mine in…..
Hi NebraskaZR2Yes, I specifically told him about the standard silverado bag mounts because of this thread! So... thank you!
And yeah aside from the convenience of having the airbags for towing, I don't really have any other need for the full onboard air setup as you did. Thus, plan to go the bluetooth route.
This truck is my daily driver and I don't do a ton of "off-roading" (GASP!). I am an avid outdoorsman though and this truck checks all the boxes for me, which is why I got it. Plus, there is no better looking truck on the market and its not even close!
Np, I never had any problems with the setup. Everything worked great. I actually don't have the truck anymore though. I traded it for a HD a couple months ago. One of the forum members on here bought my airbag setup. For the 1500 ZR2, I really do think the standard short brackets along with the Trail boss bags and the daystar cradles are the way to go. Unloaded the truck still had the nice plush ride, But when needed toss some air in the bags and it would handle loads great. I didn't switch to an HD because I needed too. The 1500 with this setup towed anything I hooked to it very well.Hi 8ball_99-
Thanks for the details on your setup. I think I'm going to do something similar. Have you experienced any noise from your Daystar cradles?
Thanks in advance
