Default Helper bags with a notch

Hey guys, I just installed a 3/4 drop on my truck and with the crap country roads I live off of I bottom out the rear often. I ordered a Mcgaughy's bolt in notch that I plan to install, I was also trying to find helper bags to install that will bolt to the notch with the existing holes or if I have to weld the bag bracket to the notch if needed. Thanks in advance.

Without knowing what you're driving it's going to be really hard to help.

McG makes a helper bag system that bolts to their notch.

The c-notch should be enough to help with bottoming out, don't believe you'll need the bags.

How'd you drop it?

Sorry, it's in my sig. But 05 Silverado. I found on a vendors site that they don't work with a notch from McG.

Shackles and hangars was how I did it, but I haul with the truck and had airlift bags on it before and those are too long for the drop I have. I haul an enclosed 20ft or 2 motorcycles in the bed.
