Having the bags in front of the axle gives you good lift, but when you put a load on the rear of the truck you are putting the bags, linkbars, and bag mount under some serious forces. If you put the bags behind the axle it will decrease the load on everything but will hurt your lift.

Yeah, the rear of my truck onl;y gets 9" of lift. But It doesnt even squat when I hook a triler to it.
