Yes, you can run bags with leaf springs. The kits use the leaf as the bottom mounting point for the bag(have brackets to clamp to the springs), & use an upper mount on the outside of the frame rail. here is a link... http://store.summitracing.com/partde...1%2D760%2D2071 the biggest problem with leaf springs is the spring wrap,causing the pinion angle to change under acceleration & braking. Removing leafs will compound that problem,& cause wheel hop under hard acceleration. As set of slapper bars will help that situation, but are not the "end all" to the problem. I am bagging my longhorn, & have replaced the leafs with ladderbars. the bars will move the pinion angle somewhat, but not to the extent that the leaf springs did. Good luck,crazyL
