I put mine in the coil spot on the trailing on top of a smooth plate for it to lay on.drilled a 3 holes in the frame for the fitting/studs.works great with the supertrack bar kit and f9000s.

it is a simple "bolt-on" .... remove coils ... drill a few holes ... insert bag ... use correct size bolts

Yep i've got bags on the stock trailing arms in the Stock location. With the Air Ride Technologies brackets you dont even have to drill any holes. But you're going to have to replace or modify your Panhard/Tracking bar to keep the rearend centered.

I posted some pics of a bagged frame HERE.
The frame is a Blazer, but a truck suspension is practically identical. Also, I will be posting a step-by-step air bag installation guide as soon as I receive my kit from ***************** and finish bolting my frame (68, shorty) back together. There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about air bags and air bag installation and I hope to dispel some of the voodoo surrounding them. Hopefully I can start making the "guide" in the next couple of weeks.

Mr shell what would be the reason for the "trick" spacers on the control arms?

The spacers are just a "clean" looking replacement for the stock type shims. You need more of them as you get to lower ride height to keep the wheels vertical. It's just a characteristic of un-equal length A-arms.
