So with the 60769 helper bags, do those go in the spring and I air to the lift I need? Would you think I could get another 1.5" with them? That would put me level if I am measuring the fenders to the ground.
Are these the bags you are suggesting?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350336753256&crlp=1_263602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem=&guid=234025231280a0265387a847fff96ad4&rvr_id=&ua=%3F*I8&itemid=350336753256

I did grind the bracket a little bit already so it does not rub at all now now, but how much will the bags move the axle toward the drivers side? I hope none.

I have the bilstein's on the list already, as well as a steering stabilizer.

I appreciate your help Max!

Yes, those are the correct bags. Depending on how much psi you run it shouldn't pitch the axle much, I'd say 5-10psi is plenty to get the ass up a bit. Here is an old ass pic of the bags installed on my truck as well as a pic of them off the vehicle when I recently swapped coils:

Looks like it is worth a try. Not too much $ so looks like a plan.
Are they safe to run aired up long term?

Sorry about the 20 questions.

Yes they're quite safe and improve the ride quality, I've done quite a few on customer's trucks lifted or lowered.

2" coil spacers would do the trick too. Though you can run both spacers and bags. Either one is good though.

So how much lift did you try to get. Cuz it does look l low maybe you could do a three inch body lift but I do like the truck dude very nice one at that

Thanks!

I wanted to go 2.5 in the back, but it moved the axel towards the driver's side. I had to grind the bracket in the pic above some just to clear what I have now. 1.5. :emotions122:

I am hoping to get another 1.5 or 2 inches up on the rear.

Thought about a body lift and maybe down the road I will, but for now I just wanbt to try these bags Max suggested and see if I can at least get it back to level. I would be quite happy if it can.

In reply to Aquino Steven, not sure why it didnt quote his post.
Tried a 2.5" and it didnt work. Rubbed way more then it does now.
Going to try the bags. Not a huge investment so WTF right? : )
Maybe the higher coil spacers would have worked since i had to grind a little anyway? I dont know.

1. order 3'' spacer from ebay for 40 bucks or so
2. get 1/4'' wheels spacers to keep from rubbing on rear or
call a lift company and get the panhard bar drop bracket.
it's like 50 bucks
