only full pic I have rite now will be on wheels tomorrow

what kind of lift can I get from a bag in the front running 3" spindles
going to add 1" bump stop for it to sit on when airred out in front

rear I want a bag over axle setup same ? what lift can I get with it
same 1" bump stop to rest when airred out

never bagged or dropped a truck this low my biggest issue is I want a good ride and plan to make many trips up and down the east coast with it
want a cheap but reliable set up for now just want to "t" the air line and run them to rear so a full air kit it out the pic for now just want bags and brackets and cups I guess
have 2 40lb co2 bottle for later use

here it back on the ground for now added blocks and centered axle in well
thinking of cutting out the bracket the front bump stops were mounted on but they have the steering stop on it could get 1.5" more drop in front with a 1" bump stop in place for when it is airred down

Mines not a dually, I also didn't bag it (yet). Right now I'm running 3" drop spindles 1" drop coils with 1 coil cut off in front and a 6" flip in the back. any lower in the front and it starts hittin the control arms on uneven roads. As it sits right now I don't have any problems driving down the road. I don't like speed bumps they can be a problem. I like the dually Burbs I have seen 2 of them around here over the years that where dropped I think they look *****in good luck with yours.

Very cool dually 'burb with the cowl hood.

Good luck on the project, it looks like it's coming along good, and should be awesome when done.
