Slammedslvy how big is the notch and which type of bags would you run? Would you run just bags or run air ride kit with compressor?

I believe the notch kits on the market are 2.5". I've read a lot of people having good results with the McGaughy air kit, you can order it to work with or without a notch.

So is that McGaughy kit a small bag set up or an entire adjustable bag setup?

The helper bags are just a small bag setup that bolts to the frame and the top of the leaf spring near the axle. Not a full on bag suspension setup. I have done this setup on a couple trucks now and they work great and def help if you tow or use the bed of your truck. If your going to use them 24/7 to lift your truck to avoid the axle hitting the frame just get the appropriate drop like the 3/5 I posted earlier, your truck will ride smoother.
