I have two questions about the road grater, and I was wondering if anyone knew the answers.
One: Is there any way I can run double convoluted bags in the rear instead of the sleeve bags. I know that the sleeve bags give you a better ride but I want to use the convoluted bags.
Two: With the roadgrater system can you drive around low all the time and still maintain proper pinion angle

If anyone can answer these question it would be much help thanks.

If you wanted to cuise at very low speeds it would not hurt, but when you get above like 15mph you are best off jacking it up to ride height. The double convoluted bags do not give enough travel. If you set the bags at ride height you will not be able to lay it out. Why must you use double?

well I want my ride height to be like a 7 in drop in the back at all times. Will the pinion be correct at this height. I want to use double because it holds more weight I haul stuff and tow stuff so I need a bag with a high load rate

The F9000 bag will lift 1500# @ 100psi per bag. We use the same bag on the 1/2 ton trucks and have no problems hauling whatever we want. I' m sure if you reallllly wanted you could use a double convoluted bag but there are no advantages over the tapered sleeve.
Ride height is set a about 5-6 in. lower than factory, anything lower and the pinion angle will be slightly out.
