For those that are bagged...

[75BeauJames]

I'm planning out to redo my suspension in my 75 GMC Sierra Classic, and am trying to calculate the drop. I don't intend to lay frame, but want it fairly low when deflated, but still at a driveable hight in the event of a failure. I learned a long time ago with my S10 with hydraulics that driving home with a quarter panel on the ground isn't fun.

So my question is, if I go with Firestone 2600 bags up front with the OEM spindle and lower control arms, what will the drop be? From what I can tell, it seems to only be 2" lower than stock with the bag deflated, but want to be sure.

I'm thinking 5" drop in the front will be low enough to my liking and still be driveable. So if the bags provide a 2" drop, I was thinking I could go with a 2" spindle and 1" drop lower control arms. Or is there a better setup for the front?

Thanks guys...
