Looks like mine was lowered before I got it. Hard to tell what is in it. I do know the rear is flipped and has shakles, the shakles are at the very end of the adjustment (the highest ride height setting), but it is damn low, and the rear bottoms out over sharp bumps. Ride is kind of sloppy for my taste (too soggy). Suggestions? I was thinking of unflipping. How low do you guys think my truck is based on this pic?

you should be fine... with the bags deflated you will have more room to work with. you could take out the overload leaf to give you and extra .25'' of drop/lift. besides, with the bags filled, but not to maximun compasity it will make your ride smoother.

does it have the factory bump stops in place??? I believe is been covered here before you need to have the flatter version of the bump stops in place to fix your bottoming out issue.

Those helper bags came on my truck, and when I installed the flip kit, I had to remove them. Research "Slam Air" and they have an air bag kit for lowered trucks that bolts to the side of the frame and the top of the leaf spring, instead of between the axle and frame.
