the reason for bags is for the ride comfort. most of the trucks around here with bags ride good. as for towing, i dont tow anything.

i also thought about going 4link with bags instead of coilovers

thats cool if thats what u want

a 4 link would be good 4 performance
but since u dont care about goin any lower get a good race/street 4 link and put a sleeve bag off the back of the rearend like a coil would and get a good tunable shock or u can just run a shockwave bag
