Our rules say we must have 1" of travel... so it can squat exactly 1"

You can run em but why would you? They will compress down alot more then an inch with the weight of the sled on them and they can give you a bouncy ride.

nothing wrong with having a truck that hauls everyday and plays on the weekends, but the rules require the bags to be disconnected, you must pull the line off of them and prove the bags are empty.

the reason being is guys can get through tech with the bags low...after the hitch is measured they like to fill them to max capacity and it puts the hitch above the limit. its just to keep people from cheating.
