I have a 92 dually and I tow a bumper pull boat trailer that weighs almost 12,000 lbs with trailer, I am wanting to bag my truck but I need to keep my toeing capabilities. What would be the best complete set up and by what manufacturer for my needs (front and rear)?????

I have ran an ART airbar system for years with no problems. It rides way better than stock. It is built very well, but is pricey. But you pay for what you get.

krewzlo, I am getting ready to bag my truck(99 crewcab) and have been looking at the art rear kit.Will it drop low enough to get the frame on the ground or will it need mods?

It will not lay without a bigger notch, but the art kit doesn't come with one anyways, but is based off a belltech notch. Any notch will work except a western chassis notch. A weld on one will work fine though. You will also need to relocate the bags. I run triple stacks on a bridge behind the axle between the lower bag mounts on the airbar kit. I get like 15"s of lift with relocating the shocks. You will also need a longer panhard bar as you will get lots of sideways movement with the art panhard bar with that much lift. If I was to do it again I would see if I could buy everything but bags and the panhard bar. I don't know of anyone who makes a bolt on kit that will lay frame in the back.

Thanks for the info on the art kit.I'm going to look into seeing if they will sell a partial kit and look into setting it up with a watts link.

which bags are you running in the back? Contitechs? I thought they only extended about 11 inches. Maybe you have different ones than I have looked at so far. The ones I was looking at were about 10 or so inches in diameter. Either way, I want to run a big bag in the back with some RE-8's in the front.

Where did you get them?

They are contitech triple stacks. They collapse to like 5" and expand to 22" They are about 10" in diameter but they ride really good, even better with a load behind you. I bought them from my supplier. I would imagine sd.com or most shops can get them as long as they are still making them.
