I know pretty much how bags work, parts, concepts, etc...

I'm building a collection of parts now for a future bag job....

I tend to over analyse things I've not had much experience with so please forgive my stupid questions.

IF a truck is bagged and it goes into shop for repairs and they jack it up high enough to work under it, or put it up on a lift, does that put any strain on the bags, or bag suspension system?

Seems like the weight of the Rim/Tire would want to rip them off, if that make sense...

Seen a lot of bagged trucks, but never talked to anyone or seen any measures to prevent issues... I never thought about it till now, when I was researching 4 Links and stuff for the rear.
