How low can I get it (assuming bagged) without a Body Drop?
Also, willing to lose or redo front inner fender and rear tubs.

I finally have a line on something in my range and not too busted up that I'm hoping to be able to pick up in a week or so.

I have a lot of the stuff already to bag it, like:
4 Slam Specialties Bags
8 SMC valves (a big box of fittings)
Roll of airline
Switch box (will get a different one)
2 via Air 450C Compressors
Dakota Digital Gauges 1 4 position to show each corner, 1 single for the tank
Pressure Switch
2 water traps
a 12 Gallon, 8 port tank, not sure of its condition anymore
and some other do-dads...
Roll of 4 Gauge Power and Ground for the Compressors.


I was going to bag a lowered S10 Blazer, but kinda lost interest in it.
I've always wanted to do a Squarebody or 67-72...

Anyone want to post pics of their bagged, but not body droped Square body for inspiration, that'ed be sweet!!!

Thanks

Bags as the only lowering parts will only get you the same drop as severely cut springs. Bags need to be combined w/spindles & other mods to get them really low. Bags that fit within the factory a-arm arrangement can yield about 3-4" of drop max.

Adding spindles & other mods get it lower.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
