NO positioning bag has zero to do with camber.. you still just align it like a normal vehicle..
Bag position effects:
:: travel (the closer you are to the pivot point the more movement you get)
:: ride quality
:: psi required to lift (the further you are from the pivot point the less psi it takes to get the truck up)
But not camber
You can align your truck to have a good alignment at ANY height.. some heights take more parts and work than others.. but.. you can align it to sit at any ONE height...
Its the same as aligning a static drop truck...
SO if you aligned it to be perfectly aligned at -5 in the front.. its NOT gonna be aligned dumped.. OR lifted... this is why alot of DDs have bad camber dumped.. because.. why in the hell would we want it aligned dumped.. when its NEVER driven that way?
My alignment was st at about -4 in the front.. but i ususally drove it around somewhere between -3 and -6 depending on the roads and what i was doing...
Some bags dont require shocks.. and some do.. thinner bags need shocks more than thicker bags.. alot of people say the 400-600psi bags already act like a shock. i had shocks on the rear but not on the front of mine.. with 200psi firestone 2600s in the back and 600psi SE 2500#s in the front

use re 7 for the front and re 6 for the back. or 7 allaround.
