could you be a bit more specific? what do you want the bags for? ride quality? to lay out? just to get a few inches lower than static? bolt ons, weld ins?

haha he said no hopping.....kinda kills hitting switches
if you don't want wide rear tires you can do all bolt on kits. do you want alot of lift out of it?

If you want to ride low, I suggest either building your own setup, or if you want to go with a company, AirRide is who I would recommend.

Front:        use F6873 bags, make an upper plate bracket and lower cup, or AirRide ARF11800
Rear: flip the rear axle, remove all but 2 leafs and run some F9000 bags in front for a good ride. or AirRide PN ARK3002

For one done that way check out my best friends pickup (N2TRUX here):

It is the Black 77 seen in the magazines.

getting real low on some 22's will take lots of cutting, and if you lay out i think you have to do something with the hood hinges

i will lay doors on 22's with no problems as far as the hood hinges go
