Can you post videos on here?

Post to YouTube, list them as private - only people with the link can view it, then upload it here. At least that is what I do.

It is aliveish. I still have it on jack stands because I need to make some adjustments, when it lowers all the way down the bags collapse towards the back in a dramatic way. So something isn't right.
I think I need to slide the bags more towards the back or maybe shorten the links on the axle. I'll get more pictures when it is light out to show you what I mean.

When wiring the compressors I have seen people add a circuit breaker between the battery and the fuse, is this necessary/recommended?

I have a master on off switch in the cab, but I don't know why you'd need a breaker and a fuse.

Now it’s quite literally in the weeds!

The bag travel doesn't bother me, it's not extreme. I'll defer to @bluex but I'd run it....

It is when I let it go to the ground without the stands to catch it as in the video.
I'll get some shots, hopefully after I get off work.

As long as the don't rub anything you'll probably be ok. It looks like its from the angle that the cantilever moves in making them not collapse evenly. If anything move the bottom back so that they are flat when collapsed. You'll spend more time at ride height an lower/laid out than you will at full extension. Try to have them as straight as possible in those two positions an it should be golden.

That's what I was thinking too. I'm hoping it can be accomplished without a massive amount of modifying stuff.

Here is a picture of how it collapses, thus is till with a jack stand support bet where it is tucking in, without support it kicks that mounting plate far into the bag, to the point where it is too uncomfortable to make it happen on purpose for the sake if a picture.

I dont have much room to move the lower mounting holes back before the bags are close to the crossmember.
I'm looking for possible suggestions @bluex

A) is that approximately ride height?
B) can you loosen the top bolt on the bag mounting bracket and see if that lets it sit more square?
