Until you start one of these projects you do not know how much actual thought goes into it. We need to set the ride height of the front bags to their proper height
8" see where the rear bags have to be set so they are withing their travel range 8 to 8.5" and then make sure the rear bags do not collapse farther than 4.5" when fully lowered.....so it is going to be a juggling act. Kieth
one of the challenges I found, was if you end up utilizing the full range of the bag, it can be a challenge to find shocks that fit that range as well. at least it was for my front shocks on my last bagged truck.

Has to be done at the end of the chasis build, then you can decide on location of shock brackets and the type of shock needed.....
