Default Bagging a '91, tips?

I've been looking into it and I really want to bag my '91 8 foot single cab. Anyone here done it? Just looking to see how difficult it would be, and what the cost would be. Just looking to do front and back, no side to side or anything crazy.

Not much information on doing this to a Dakota. The rear is pretty straight forward as far as generic kits available. The front shouldn't be any different than any other coil spring conversion. But there are no kits specific to the Dakota. My concern is if doing this hurts the load carrying capacity of the truck. Probably not so much the rear but how does this affect the front?

no experience with this at all, but I would think that, doing the rear would be very difficult. When you remove the leaf springs, you will need a 4 link with a panhard bar to hold everything in place or something else..... Good luck and let us know how it goes.
