Let me know how you're going to do it because I'm thinking of doing the same thing then install bags on my '00 GMC Sierra... but I have a '56 Burb mounted on the chassis .

I Wanted To Do It With A Coil Sprig Set Up Due To Horrible Traction Problems With The Leafs. I Have Looked At Some Bolt In Bag Type 4 Links, But I Am Looking For Somethin A Little Stronger Cause I Plan On A Lot Of Torque In The Future, So Probably Somethin Weld In With Some Beefy Knuckle Joints For Me. Somethin Like That Might Be Overkill For Bags, Though. I Will Let You Know What I Come Across In The Future.
