Thanks, I too have wondered about the stut type bags or air cyls. they are smaller around, but they dont get much lift. Only 4" or so. I have also thought about a custom loop set up above the upper control arms but this could be more challenging than its worth. thanks , troy

Tdatsun- i too am thinking of running a setup like you described by running the bags above the upper arms.
Sorry for the hijack Impala.

Well I got a lot done,still have a lot to do,but the shows movein date is in 3 days and I never recived the comfermtion letter,so I'm going to just take my time instead of a rush jobbie,but if I were to get a last minute letter I might just take it with no bed,or maybe just take the impala since its move in ready,either way I'm takeing my time on the finish work to the inner bed,keep a eye out for some updates in a couple weeks
