    Going to do Bags and a 4 link

    i have been talking with my friend who has done a lot of Air Bags on trucks and what not...i want my truck lower but i still want to pull a trailer...so he said bag the back and do drop spindles in the front...we can get 5-7" drop on the back with the bags and a baby c-notch without having to cut into my bed or anything and when i want to pull a trailer just raise them up...also said my ride will be so much better over the leaf setup....hopefully will get this done in the next month or so...i have a friend who has this already on his truck and he loves it.....pics to come when we start....we are going to knock this out in a very loonngg weekend.....let me know some thoughts....also if anyone wants this done i can get you a killer deal through him

    Where do you plan to locate the bags? Parallel 4 link? I can send you lots of pics of jobs we have done for some ideas. thats cool your doing it yourself, you will learn alot about suspensions that way. 4 link setup done correctly is 10X better than leaf springs.

    my 4/8 did that. But a 5/7 with bags will make it ride realll nice and look so good. You still have the black SS wheels right?
