    Lift it, Slam it, or bag it?

    Im not sure if I want to lift or lower my truck. Help me make my decision. 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic RCSB. Im thinking about bagging it so I can do both, but Im afraid it will interfere with launches at the track. Anyone have bags see any unneccessary body roll or problems with them?

    If anything a properly setup bag job will decrease your body roll, and help with your launches at the track. Thats assuming that the rear suspension is setup properly. My personal truck has bags on it with 4link and hooks very well at the track. We did speedaddicks truck on here with bags and he has a built 5.3 running 10psi of boost with 265/35/22s in the rear, he can't spin the tires launching on the street.

    My buddy has a 4 link air bag set up on his 03 and did a 5.3 swap with a small cam, tune, gear and posi. He ripped his housing once or twice. Launches good but it will break sooner or later.

    Ok, if im thread jacking I apologize in advance. Im going to be bagging my truck real soon and plan on using a triangulated 4link but not quite sure where the bag should be mounted. I have heard that mounting it to the lower bar gives you more lift but also a lot of wheel hop. I really dont care about a lot of lift just as long as I can get a decent ride height. With that said, I was advised to run the bag over the axle to control the wheel hop better. I have heard that this gives a rougher ride. My ? to you is where would you suggest the bag be mounted to get a good ride with minimal wheel hop? Thanks.
