    I wouldn't run it. it's a single leaf setup. with a bag on top. which means if your one and only leaf breaks..... Where does your axle go? out the back end of the truck at highway speeds. it's for show trucks in my opinion.

    look up brentscustomtrucks.com they make a leaf and a half system. much safer. top quality too

    Only one leaf is master on a multi-leaf spring, same result if it breaks.

    It's not going to flex any more or less as the bag is supporting most of the weight on both.

    A real air bag outside the frame rail to widen the spring base would be best but you would have to move the drag link to clear the bag. Might cause problems with bump steer.

    I'll pass on all of them.

    On big trucks the second leaf coils around the eye in case of breakage just to prevent the axle from folding under.

    Hey guys sorry for dragging up a dead tread but this kit is $1700 and uses a 4 shock setup but doesn't come with the shocks or a dash switch. But you use the set/resume cruise control switch so it's always centered and you bump it up or down.
