air over leaf?

Hey guys I have just put a djm 3/5 drop on the 86 shorty with spindles and a flip kit and not to my surprise the back is now lower than the front (25 year old springs). I have bought the air-lift air over leaf kit but was just wondering why some people (N2Trux) have put both bags ahead of the axle? Is it for axle wrap? Looks? Can I just put one in front and one behind or should I move the shock bracket on the passenger side to the back and do it the same way? Will I get the same result? I do plan on useing this setup to drop the axle right into the c-notch when I get the front bagged as well, not just for leveling purposes.

Re: air over leaf?

Mine was done the way it is because it was determined that was the optimum location to generate the most lift. It was a bonus that I don't have any wheel hop issues. I can't say that it won't work if it's staggered, but my thoughts are that it might not give you an even lift. One bag might require more pressure than the other.
