This photo is max height, obviously won't be driving it like that. Ride height should be around 4.5" I'm thinking.

Everything is getting recoated and alot of new parts will slowly make its way back on the truck. Moving onto rear suspension soon. Gotta pay bills bf I can spend any money on this thing.
Great video. What made you decide to switch out the upper arms? As far as bag placement goes, did you just have to trim the frame so the bag didn't contact? I believe you mentioned before the bags are slightly bigger than the springs that used to sit in there.
