Shocks for a 4/6 or 5/7 static drop,... will work just fine with your bag set-up.

Re: bagged truck! shock help!!!

I'm running stock length shocks in front (5 years with no trouble).for the rear,I modified the upper shock mount but kept the lower mount the same and ran an 18 1/2" long shock(10 3/4" collapsed length).now the truck has a hand built cantilever setup.hope this helps.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
