I put a 4 bag system on a GMC this summer. Thankfully I checked the frame rail where the rear axle assembly bolts to the frame. There was a layer of rust scale on both mating parts. I used a large file to clean both surfaces flat, and clean for a good mating of the final assembly. If this would have been missed. The torque on the half inch bolts couldn't have been maintained. While you're in that area. Check The break line that goes across the frame to the right wheel brakes. The brake line gets VARY rusty at the center brake line support. That line is simple to make. But must have a double flair at the line nut.
