also as for how to bag it instead of using the bolt in brackets or the floating cumps..i thought about cuting the spring pocket off and building some brackets kinda like a torsin style truck...and with this would i lay or a 22 with a decent tire not cheaters ...and should i use 2600's or would 2800's fit up front

can other please chime in i need to know how low i could get he front to sit with all stock arms and spindles...could i lay with stock tires...if not..i know about pie cuting the uppers but what may end up being the problem is on my 64 the lower arms hit the spring pocket b4 laying out...i could notch the lowers...but i thought about ccuting the spring pocket off and doing the torsin style bag plates...and info would be helpfull....i plan on geting spindles later but need to know how low i could get for now

Yes you can cut out the spring pockets on the lowers and plate it back with the cups to accomodate the bags.  I think someone has pics of this in one of there profiles of a c-10 if im not mistaken.  Don't forget about z'ing the front in order to truley lay flat

all of the square body duallys differ from the factory. mine had to be z'd 1 inch but my buddy chase's didnt. all depends on your particular truck. jus gota messure it out. and to lay crossmember on a 265-35-22 i had to have spindles. then when i shortened my arms for my semis to tuck i ended up havin to pie cut the uppers and step the lowers 3/4 inch. if you dont narrow you shouldnt have to. i also used gravity werx upper bag mounts with RE7 bags and cut out the lower spring pockets and put in some buckets. there should be pix in my profile or i will post a link to my build from dually scene. any more q's lemme know. btw mine is an 85 with 75 suspension parts for my donor truck
