I have a 2018 Silverado CC with the V6, and 5.5 bed. Since I have purchased it I removed the rear block, added longer shackles to level it. This was perfect till I added the tool box, and tow hitch. Then the rear sagged another inch. So this weekend I added drop spindles, and it is perfect height for me to work out of.q

So now I want helper air bags, and since it is lowered I will have to build my own kit. Since none I have found accommodate a lowered truck

Every kit I have seen online bolts the bag to frame as well as the axle. I was planning on my version using tabs to slide over the axle perch, and locking in that way. Thus if I ever jack the truck up by the frame I do not stretch or rip the bag.

Is there a reason for the bolting the bag at both ends I am not aware of?
