How low SHOULD I go?

I just tubbed my '70 and I'm going back and forth about dropmember/bagging it. I want to keep things as simple and reliable as possible. I've had friends that have been stranded due to blown bags and I dont want to be that guy so I'm really leaning towards static. I have 3" coils and 2.5" spindles installed and its still not quite as low as I want. Running a 26"ish tire I would be comfortable with the stock crossmember being about 3" off the ground with a firm ride. I've dealt with less, trust me. I'm not too keen on aftermarket lowering components. With lowered coils and spindles can I go even lower with dropped arms added to the mix? I know I SHOULD run tubular upper arms but at what point do I NEED them?
