I have it bagged on re-8s and it lays on the tranny crossmember, I have made a custom member to sit above the lower frame lip instead of 2" lower and I am ordering some drop spindles. What do you have?

i have re8's an some torsion brackets i fabed up out of 1/4 plate and gusseted them pretty good. im running djm upper and lower arms. howd you mount your bag to your stock arms since they are cast? i have mcgaughy spindles coming in someday if ups ever shows up. i made a tranny x-member. im also going to raise my upper arm to correct the insane camber i get. in theory it should work fine to make the arms parallel to eatchother at ride height then you will have almost no camber when laid out. i may also flip my drag link so my tie rods will be parrallel also. because i get bad toe in when droped. but my tie rod is at an insane angle at ride height also. so that should fix it.

I live in north Florida, Suwannee county.

I welded the brackets to the control arms and then made steel "wrap-around" tabs to wrap around the control arm and weld back to the brackets....Not the best but I have put 20k on the truck since bagging with no problems!! I thought about going with torsion brackets but wanted to try this and be different.

how are your balljoint angles? i was thinking about putting my stock arms back on but i dont want to risk binding my balljoints.

got any pictures of your front?

I could probably get some pics for you. My ball joints are ok.....I ride around factory height but at collapsed they nearly bind, I could have set my upper bag brackets about 1" higher and been lower all layed but then they would have been binding.
