My spindle rubs my bag when lifted and put a hole in the bag, was initially just the drivers side. Apparently I need more lift because the inner tires are wore the fuck out, and I'd rather fix this problem so I can drive higher before I put new tires on

Also we set the truck back down and we thought the inner tire was dead from excessive camber, but at ride height there's 0 camber could scrubbing the tire from airing down look like camber wear, cause pretty sure if it was rubbing the plastic fenders it would have wore a hole in those before killing the tire

It's like the cups are forcing the bag into the spindle, is there a fix for it or do I just need to buy torsion brackets

Torsion brackets for a bag mount as opposed to using cups that go into the spring pockets.

fucked up toe will eat tires way faster than camber wear. especially on bagged vehicles.

my question is why in the hell do you want to be that high if you're bagged? your ball joint angle looks terrible as well.
torsion style brackets will not help an issue like this on stock arm and mounting points. you can't get the bag much closer to the frame than is already is.

that ball joint angle is fucking terrible. if your ball joint fails, that full range won't matter. you need to go air cylinders for massive lift without interference from components.

air ride suspension is designed to give good ride for a range of the bag stroke, not the entire bag stroke. you're doing things a stock suspension is not designed to do. the bag and bag placement is not the issue, its how far you are pushing the factory suspension. drop spindles make it worse, so if you have them, then its even worse on lift.
