My questions are: Can I lay the rear frame on 22's using the stock trailing arm architecture (I plan to build a new set of arms out of 2x3 tubing)? I want the front and back to sit even, so how much lift will I get with the dropmember and ART arms? Where do I mount the bags to get the same lift in the rear? Lastly, I do have a triangulated four link, which I could use, but it seems like it would be more trouble to install because I want to stick with the original 12 bolt rear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I plan to install the notch this weekend, but want to make sure I lay it our right for airspring placement etc.

I don't forsee another "sale" like we had at the end of the year... as of March 1st we will be seeing a price increase on the Dropmember.
So hey, it's actually ON SALE right now!
If you use the trailing arm architecture in the rear, you will encounter some trailing arm to frame clearance issues in front of the factory spring location. You may need to step or notch the frame in this area.
I would run a sleeved bag over the axle to achieve a similar travel range as the front (when Dropmember equipped).
