Bags Without Air Tank or Pump? Pic.

I'd like to drop the rear end about another inch.

I'm about 1-1/2" off of the bump-stops which are un-cut (or un-trimmed). The rubber bump stop looks to be about 2-3/4" long. I suspect, and have been told, that trimming
it way down works with the light-duty use I give my truck.

What I wondered is if anyone has placed bags under the rear...(or, although I'm not going to do that, all corners) without having all the "gear" that goes with a complete set-up.
Like, remove the coils. Put bags in the pockets. Run air lines "tee'd" together to feed the bags with the valve at a logical spot for airing up (or down).

Does that make any sense?

This is me now at a 4-1/2" (2-1/2" on spindles and two inches on coils) and 6" drop springs in the back (although I didn't buy the springs...they came with the truck).
