front bags?

[pkj]

i am not sold on going disc brakes yet, but want to lower my front 3 to 4 inchs. will bags do this without a spindel change? i clipped one ring off my old coils ( wore out old coils) the drop measured about 2 1/2 inchs. need 1 more inch. a lot of people seem to think drums work well with power, plus i am intrested in this 3/4-1 ton set-up everyone is talking about. not sure if anybody has this all worked out parts wise yet? thanks, pkj

My Slam Specialties measure about 4" with no air. If you add the bottom cup (I haven't cut mine yet) you are looking at another 4". So figure a total of 8" of bag, plus it doesn't sit as high as the spring, but I would guess that the overall drop with a bag front would be around 4" lower than springs.

I wouldn't drive it that low, but you could drive it at around 3" with stock spindles. The kit from GMC Pauls was only $470 + shipping. It was easy to do and if your ball joints are in good shape, then it's well worth the dough for the additional 2.5" of drop and the added stoping power.

I think he means 4 inchs lower than the spring? But any way you go you will have to get an alignment afterwards. Whether you do Spindles or air bags. Personal I am about to do spindles from www.gmcpauls.com. They are less expensive and the added stopping power over the drums. It is a great deal and honestly you will want to in the end.
