Helper Bags

[titanium02]

My 3/5 kit is on the way.. and I've been thumbing through some lowering threads and noticed that helper bags are pretty common on 3/5 drops.

I can get an Air Lift 1000 rear kit for about $91 shipped.

Is this a must? Or at least worth the $100?

For sure!

Thats how much I paid...and yes..you pretty much HAVE to run them for a better ride quality after a 3/5

$400-$600 (depending if you get new shocks) for a 3/5 Mcgaughys kit....$95 for helper bags

total, you can have a finished drop with good quality for for under $700

wish mine was that cheap... Mine was just over $1000 but I also added sway bars.

You also have to add in QUALITY shocks...

You can get a 3/5 for $200 with just doing keys and springs. Not saying it's going to ride the best. Your camber might not be able to get aligned. And eventually you'll be purchasing the rest of the stuff you need to get it the good ride...

Above is the proper way to drop these trucks. Both my denali and nathan's esky ride 100x better than a budget 3/5 with keys and awful 5" coils. Helper bags are the only way to go
