I just installed a SuicideDoors wishbone kit on my wagon this week and plan on mounting the bag brackets tomorrow. Just wondering how I should go about mounting them. Its a behind and under the axle setup. Once the lower brackets are mounted should I raise the axle so the suspension is at dragging height and measure the 2.9inches(RE-7) up and mount the upper plates at that height or what? Any help would be great.

Yea just be sure to jack it up so you lay out completely, I'd just set 3" between brackets.

The last couple I have set i have leveled the lower mounts and tacked them in place, then used pieces of 3/8" all thread and nust and washers to set the upper plate 3" higher. This way you can set the rearend as far up as you need it to lay, then start building the upper mounts to fit. that will keep them in place and aligned while you work.

all thread/nuts/washers comes in handy lol, I use a small piece of all thread and a long nut as a spacer in 8 piece notch side plates, works great. what you mentioned is a great idea, im gonna try it next time

Thanks for the help. I cant wait to get this thing bagged in the rear so i can start the front end.

and if you are using allthread to hold them once you have the upper mounts build, the all thread will hold up the rear end, frees up jack stands for other things for those to broke to afford more jackstands. but it does work well and is easily adjustable.
