The problem with the bags isn't the supporting of them on the arms but the twisting motion of them being offset. There are a couple of treads on here that cover it in detail.

One thing I am not sure on is.. Will I need to get a steering shaft with a U joint in it if I raise the steering>?
Thanks in advance for your time,
My crossmember on my 66 was raised 2 inches as well. I will take some pics of the steering set up. I forgot if there is a u-joint in there or not (I got it that way). You will have to notch the frame to clear the steering though.
