Any pictures of how you bagged the front? Looks like you retained the stock A-arms. Do you add Drop spindles as well?

its on stock spindles, stock upper arms, air ride technologies lower control arms, porterbuilt bag plates and shock mounts dominator 2600 bags it was very easy and cheap for a bag set up i am planning on drop spindles and tubular upper arms as well but its -11 in my little shack so progress is slow

Thanks a lot guys I was wondering how it would work on stock arms so I bought my own camber caster gauge and didn't even need it the alignment was perfect I hope it is still good after new uppers and drop spindles

Sweet long bed! If you ever decide to get rid of the inline 6 I'd be willing to take it off your hands.
