Help!

I want to start with pointing out my poor choice of user name 4 years ago... I'm 20 now. lol. Dumb Kids.......

Anyways,

I FINALLY have a good paying job and parts for the old restoration project are finally starting to stack up in boxes awaiting their friends still to come to get this project out of the garage and onto the road. HOWEVER, I canNOT decide how much I want to lower it OR how I want to do it. I like the stance of the truck in the pic below.... Does anybody own it or know how it's set up?

My biggest question is bags... or springs/spindles...

I saw an air ride kit that does a 3 to 4 inch drop... I know bags are more money but I don't want that "Lumber Wagon" ride that is so commonly known of trucks that have lowering springs. Anybody got lowering springs and a still decent ride comfort?

If I go with bags what brand names are trustworthy but not so expensive that I feel like I'm just "Paying for the name"?

Will bags squat worse than springs when I get on the throttle at a car cruise? If so can that be compensated for?

I know guys it's a LOT of questions but hey, that's what is so awesome about the community here... You can ask and not get criticized... Because when you ask a question the folks here don't think of you as an idiot... You're considered a student. Well guys, PLEASE teach me.
