they dont make a kit for a truck with a flip kit and C notch...or atleast i havent seen one yet. so if i go that route i will end up having to do something custom and im tired of spending money.

I don't think thats going to ride good using bags to level your truck when empty.

guess i will see how the bags ride...i canceled the order on the 1" shackles and just placed a order for a bag kit, front shocks and a new rollpan. getting the wheels back today. they werent able to get the clearcoat to lay even on the wheels so they will come back as raw aluminum. truck should get a fresh coat of paint next month! and be able to be used as a truck again. think im guna run down and fill the bed with mulch as soon as i get the bags installed.
