One reason they rec to used drop spindles"
: It gives a better quality ride. You can install just drop spindles to a stock truck, and not loose any ride quality, and get it lower. There are not any other products that can lower the vehicle down and not suffer ride. (other that riding on air) But here is a pic of my truck...It has bags and drop spindles..no c-notch. Hope that helps...also hope Someone can chime in to confirm my statement. LOL

This is what a '70 looks like with stock spindles and no air in the bags, sitting on the bump stops. Also note this is a 3/4 ton with stock tires.

Re: Pic of Bagged truck with std spindles & no notch

Thanks for posting guys - I've wondered what this would look like as i still want to tow my racecar with my 67 - gotta order some bags! I assume you can hike the rear to just the right height with a trailer in back....

TIA!
