Yes sir mine is the same maybe worse because of my fiberglass lid. I went tailgating to a Marlins game on friday and 3 adult, 4 kids in the cab. 1 90Qt cooler filled and a tent. I was slammed.

i had 4 big guys, the quad and dirt bike, ramp, cooler, riding gear, 15 gallons of gas, plus full tank on the truck. i parked on a tiny slope with the truck unloaded and got about a 1 finger gap. So i guess cutting the bump stops is not an options. hopefully bags will work, if not then maybe add 1 inch spacer, otherwise im might just go to stock.

those old school XR's must weigh a ton. i had a 450 in the back of mine before i bagged it and it wasn't half that low.
plenty of threads about how the airlift 1000 bags, or similar products, work perfectly (especially considering the price and ease of install.

yea looking into airlift bags but there not a exact fit for lowered app. i know the guys are running them without the spacers and no protectors. spent about a week trying get right the right setup but i think im going to have to play with it myself. the stock kit comes with 2 inch spacers. so maybe i'll cut them down to make them fit. the stock bag is 9" high which is what i roughly measured compressed on the truck. the techs at superlift said if u use it try lift the truck they will wear and they wont replace them. the bags were designed to expand horizontally and squish between the coils. i think we sag in the rear about an inch.
