Looking at dropping my truck over the winter, but I can't decide on bagged vs. static. The end goal is to have a decent power touring truck; truck already has a v8 in it but I've got an LS in the works. I want something that will ride nice and handle well. The truck will still see some light use as a truck, mainly with motorcycles/lumber in the bed.

I've decided I'm going to keep the 6-lug front end and convert to discs, likely with 2" drop spindles. I'd like the truck to be low, but don't want to lay frame - 4" drop in the rear would be good, but I read conflicting info on how some static drops ride/handle, and also on having to C-notch the frame.

What have you done, why, and are you happy?
