Bags any good on a daily driver???

I'm thinking of bagging my 72 short wide, but I want to drive it every day. Haul parts, tow trailers... that kind of thing. I had a static dropped 90 with air lift bags that I liked, I like the idea of being fully bagged. Any advice?

if you want to pull a trailer and haul stuff there is no better reason to bag it, add a little more air and you can load it up with a trailer and not be on the bumpstops

I've had bags on the rear of my daily driven 68 for 3+yrs now w/o problems. Fronts shouldn't be any different (sorry, but I run spindles w/cut coils on mine). Only worry would be keeping the air psi/settings consistent w/the setting it is aligned with to prevent premature tire wear.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
