Oh okay very valid now I believe afte talking to another guy that has dropped these trucks (since I'm not altering the stock supension setup at all other than replacing the coils with bags) that all I will need to do is bolt the upper bracket into the a-arm and then provide a spacer with the correct ride height and I should be golden as far as that goes as for the back that's more than easy to my comprehension. These bags will only be for ride smoothness and at car shows ill drop it to the fender for a nice look to get their attention. As for the tire being ate up it is because of my 10inch eagles that have the wron offset for this low of a truck so I need stiffness from the bags to boost it up a tick I'll post a pic of the tire tonight
