maybe someone can help me. i have a 04 with 4 inch rear drop shakle\hanger and a belltech cnotch. i got a helper bag kit from airlift. they recomemded the 59103 cuz it works with a 4 inch drop..a smaller bag i guess. now most people dont have a c notch with a 4 inch drop ...so now mine is in the way of mounting the bags. they sent me some belltech brackets which do not help either because the holes do not line up. they told me at airlift that "they do not have anything for my application."

so i figured i drill new holes and go from there. i placed the brackets with the installing tool and realized that when fully compressed the bag is about about 3 inches plus with their brackets and the inch and a half for the valve-- that means that at my ride height i only have about 6 inches between the bed frame and the leaf spring. if any of this makes sense that would mean that with my cnotch the bag with the least amount of air would bottom out and restrict the travel i have. so when i dont carry a load which is most of the time..the ride would be compromised.

so if you notice there is not much room. the bed frame will hit the upper bracket. as of now i would need to drill all new holes to make it work what do you guys think?

I had sort of the same issue......I just drilled all new holes and made spacers for the side that is not resting on the notch.
