To bag the rear or not?

So I finally got the suspension done, well I thought. 4" HD drop springs for the rear, adjustable track bar, all new shocks and 1" drop for the front, 2.5 drop spindles. Did the 5 lug swap from a '72.. Scored a set of 20" Boyds with 275mm tires for $500 on craigslist.

Did NOT do a C- notch. I've been working on a 70 4wd that I picked up and really didn't drive the burb that much. Now that I have, I am satisfied but not 100% happy. It's not a show truck and never will be, but I thinking about bagging the rear. My thoughts are that if I bag it, I can raise and lower it at will. I live out in the country and the roads here suck!

I have a F550 for towing the heavy stuff, but would maybe later tow a bike or something light with the burb. The bags would give me that flexibility. But, I know NOTHING about air bags and ride quality. Would love some opinions on that option.

Thanks,

Bake
