I am thinkin about doing this similar operation to my 00 sierra, and would love to be able to just throw the bags in there and take out the blasted torsion bars.....thanks

again very nice work....

Thanks! The shockwave mounts to a U shaped bracket and the bracket mounts to the original top shock mount.

You do bring up a good point about the bracket and shock mount taking on a lot more of the load with the torsion bars removed. I trust in Air Ride Technology's R&D department and that the bracket and mount will hold but I will keep an eye on it.

Not sure what bag setup you're going with... If using convoluted bags you may find this interesting:

Good luck!
