Can you post some up close pics of your helper bags, etc? I'm thinking of running the same kit on my truck but I don't know if it will work with my C&C. My inners are real close to the leaves ....

Thanks

Thanks a lot Snapdaddy. By the looks of it I don't think that kit will work on my truck. Do you know how far the bag sticks out past the edge of the leaf spring?

WL - I have the "Air Lift" helper bags on mine and they
are very narrow compared to those. You might want to
look into theres? Looking real good Snap, I like it! 8)

Mine might be an older style then, cause they are same diameter as my springs are wide.
