Lets go racin' boyz!!
I'm trying to make up my mind on lowering my '96 C3500 CCLB dually 5/7 static. I already have the Belltech kit in hand. It has helper bags now. Unknown brand but appear to be the Air Lift 5000's . These bags are mounted on top of the rear end housing and to the bottom of the frame. I know I'll need bags to pull my 28' race trailer but I'm confused on which ones are right for the lowered truck. Don't see any way that the ones I have now are going to work without fabricating all new brackets or something/???

Firestone Ride Right appears to be the same installation; Top of axle to bottom of frame again.

Bell Tech Airjack 5007 appears to mount to the spring and to the outside of the frame. Says it works with stock height or 8" drop. This looks like the only option that will bolt on without fabrication.

Don't see that Hellwig makes anything that says it fits my truck.
Is there some other option that I'm missing here? I hate to junk the bags that I have now but I don't see how to make them work.
