We usually build a bridge across the frame rails and hang the bags just off the back of the axle housing. This will also give you a bit more lift power on the air ride.

ok yes I guess that is my only option was lookin for the easy way but that makes sense ,thankyou

Mine's not slammed, it has the "Air Lift" helper kit
on rear axle & seems to tow pretty well, although
the most I have had behind it so far was about 6K

I had the same issue on my 1500. It was so low that the helper spring kit actually made it worse and bottomed the bag out so it rode like a rock when aired out. So this is was I did and it should be the same process for the duallies:

I used the upper brackets from the helper spring kit, plated the frame and bolted the upper brackets to it. I got a set of behind the axle lower bag brackets and it work out perfect. I also used a bigger bag too.

Does your truck not have a tow/haul button? Most of the time the truck will downshift for you if it feels necessary too under a load strain going up inclines or pulling small hills.
