Re: how much drop ?
At recommended ride height (ride height psi), bags typically yield about 2" of drop vs. stock coils. Calculating 'typical' front bag height @ 7" @ ride height & 'typical' minimum bag heights of 3", you can get about 6" of total drop when air'd out.

Re: how much drop ?
not sure this helps but heres mine with cupped LCA's on the stock spindle X memeber is about 1.5" off the ground sory the second one is a little fuzzy also keep in mind that my truck has a little air dam on the front to make it look lower

Re: how much drop ?
If it were me, I would buy spindles before bags.
