Quick question......

I have a question. It might be a dumb one, but oh well. I am new to bags. The rear of my truck is bagged as of now. Hopefully i'll get around to doing the front in a few weeks. Monday I am getting my tires rotated. Whenever I put the truck on the lift do I have to support the rear axle or will the bags hold it without tearing them up. It is a lever setup and my shock won't bottom out to hold the axle so should I strap the axle to the bridge and then put her on the lift or will the bags hold the axle ok. Thanks for your help. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

The bags will hold the axle fine. They hold the whole truck up. If you air it out a little on the lift the axle wont drop as far down.

this is correct. And even concisely captures the right logic.

I know that they hold the whole truck up. I just know when i've jacked the truck up the bags start looking real ugly when the axle starts to pull of the ground. I just wasn't sure it was ok for them to be pulled like that. Thanks for the help.

They're just creating suction. When they create enough, they will hold the rear end in place.
