so im thinkin instead of baggin my truck (before i go any further... im going to bag my truck, just get a bike and piece together the kit first) i wanna do helper bags. whenever i have a truck load of people i have to be rediculously careful not to bottom out ALL of the time. my question is... how do they install? where do they install? weld on or bolt on? i could do the research myself, but i figured id get this thread rollin again haha

The ones I've seen for the back suspension just bolt on between your leaf spring and axle. But, that was for a stock ride truck. Not a lowered one. That's all I got. Anyone?

Anybody know how I can get an extra inch up front? I was thinking about going with the full 5 inches out back, but I want 3 up front? Is that possible without doing control arms and all that jazz? Could I maybe just cut a coil out of the coil?

another question is would the helper bags work with the flip kit? or would i have to flip it back and maybe do a mono-leaf setup? and you will get approx 1'' by cutting half a coil.
