in my application (bagged with a split shaft) it didn't seem to put any additional pressure on the CB, but i only have a C-notch, not a step. Also, my bags are mounted on the T-arms, so my travel is not much.

I'm really not worried about that at all. I set up the driveshaft and CB to work properly with the frame rails only being 5 inches off the ground. This truck is not going to see a lot of vertical travel(especially at cruising speeds) that will be putting any sort of stress on the CB. I'm not suspension expert, just seems like common sense to me.
