Static drop or bags? Opinions?

[AFscott]

I've been looking at lowering my '65 about 5-6". Either gonna go with the CPP static kit or their air kit. If possible could someone post pics of their truck lowered about 6"? I'd like to hear what everyone thinks about both products. Thanks.

here is mine at 3,5/5 with a static drop (Before and After)

I am at this point not interested (financially -3 teenagers in the house) in an air kit (bags), I like the simplistic design and lack of maintenance required with the static. Have ridden in a few bagged vehicles and must say the ride is good, but for the price and wow factor, at least for me it doesnt compute. this is just my .02 worth. I applaud those that have the time and money to purchase and maintain an air system.

NF65 - Thanks, yes a static is just coils, blocks, drop spindles, anything other than air or pneumatics/hydraulics, no vertical movement/stationary/fixed.

I wanted a specific stance, kinda ol'school hotrod/muscle car (a bit raked) not level, slammed or nose high. I am in the process of going to a Short Fleet, its apart in the sanding and primer phase.

I like the drop alot, Im with you. I dont have the time to mess with an air kit all the time, Im thinkin a 3/5 drop, its my daily driver so I want to keep it simple.

AFScott - I have a company vehicle for use during the day, the wife has the suburban, this is my driver when I am not in one of the aforementioned vehicles, so I, like you, and many require simplistic mechanical designs that provide good ride quality, custom looks and relatively troublefree performance.

I assume based on your forum name, you are in the Air Force? If so thank you for your dedication and self sacrifice to our country. - 62step

Personally I prefer air. This is the first air suspension I built and it is just phenominal! The ride can't even compare to a brand new Cadoo! But that's just me.

fugg it, just heat the springs. All you need is a torch and its a free drop.
