Your on the wrong site...Most of the guys here don't know what 'bags' are. Let play fill in the blanks: www.Dodg_Tal_.com There is a whole section dedicated to dropped, bagged and lowered trucks. They will give you answers. PM me if you need the site.

In the front the only thing that was cut was the upper spring basket on the frame. This was to give the bag room to expand when it was dropped. We removed the coilover package and installed the bag in its place. You will need to lift the bag out of the lower A frame because it will rub on the side walls and will pop it. I forgot how much we raised it but I think it was more than 5". We had relocate the shock to the rear of the A frames and I am riding 22s and they rub slightly. I dont know what to do with 24s. The only thing that comes to mind is that you are just going to loose alot of your turn radius. Let me know how it goes and if you have any more questions.

ok think i got 99% of my answers. i have to cut the upper arm off and raise it 3 inchs and cut off the upper coil spring pocket and make my own bag mount there. and flip the lower ball joint then that if it still isnt low enuff Z the frame in the front. then after that little bit of stuff the front is done. the rear i have to shorten my rear end 4 inchs each side and then do the normal bag stuff. the 4 link really really big notch fuel cell and litthe things like that. so looks like i got a lot of stuff ahead of me.
