Raising with the bag will make the ride harder in the rear.
I keep mine as low on air as possible(10psi) which doesn't change a thing in ride confort, but no lift.
Get the DJM forward lifting shackle IMO.

Yes, got the slam air at the same time as the drop kit. I think they were like 280 and have a $50 rebate on them. Still need to install them though.

Mine sits a tad low in the rear as well, and I'm using the Slam Air kit(59210) which levels it just fine. Mine looks the best with 13-14psi and it doesn't effect the ride any that I can tell.

Good to hear. Do you recall approximately how high up you mounted the upper bag perch based on the spacing tool?

I'm not really scared of a stiffer ride as I am used to driving lowered Mustangs. As it is, the ride is fairly comfortable, like it better than the stock height, the valving in the Belltech shocks and struts is pretty nice.

here's mine on my 07 with djm flip kit


the key is to not have to bag be a limiting strap when you lift the truck or the bag will fail.
you need to allign the bracket with the suspension at ride height (with the truck raised under the diff and not the frame)

Reviving an old thread here....Did some horse-trading on a Belltech drop, and the SlamAir 59210 kit.....my buddy is going to modify the SlamAir kit with a spacer, so that anytime the truck is on a lift that picks the truck up by the frame, the bags don't stretch fully out and possibly cause damage etc....I know I'm probably not explaining this correctly, but......LOL.....I'll try to have him snap some pics during the install, etc.....
