    my truck is sitting about 4-6 inches off the ground in the front when all of the air is out of the bags I haven't flipped the ball joints or put drop spindles on it yet, I bought these bag brackets http://thebagshack.net//catalog/product_info.php?cPath=59_66_75&products_id=185&osCsid=3e2955aca921a9eee568c205d833762e and I used the pieces that are under the lower bag brackets and I was wandering if that could be what was holding it up so high, maybe if I took them off and put the lower bag bracket directly on the control arm it would sit lower. so far I haven't been able to get an answer because nobody knows what I'm talking about. Any thoughts on that?

    I never use that thing. I put the bag plate right on the arm and make the upper mount parallel with that. You might have to trim the control arms a bit too, because they hit the mount on the lower crossmember. YOu should be able to make your truck lay no problem with all stock parts. No spindles necessary.

    Yup. If it hits, cut it.

    Yeah you need to get a new transmission crossmember first. That could be whats holding you up.
