I am heavily leaning into the idea of lowering my truck more when I replace the motor I wounded, but my helper air bags will not to keen on the idea.

They are placed outboard above the axle to provide maximum stability, and unfortunately the set up can not be dropped any more.

So which option do you guys like the best when towing or hauling stuff around.

Move the bags in board on the frame and use drop mounts to get suspension travel

Or

Move the air bags over the leaf springs and have them staggered opposite of the shocks?
