Re: 5 inch rear drop question
I have a 4" in mine and everytime i put a load on it it drops but doesn't hit the bump stops. I am thinking about bagging the rear. I am installing a rear fuel cell and i don't know if the rear spring will sag if I put a load on it with the fuel cell. bagging the rear should prevent it.

Re: 5 inch rear drop question
yes.. .putting the gas tank in the rear plays a part... esp. with a full 25 gals.
with a 6in drop in the rear the bump stops need to be cut..otherwise its a jolt to go over railroad x-ings
