Re: bags with stock suspension

the only parts I bought for my rear drop were the bags or springs and the adjustable panhard bar.

I bought 2.5" drop spindles and 1.5" drop springs for the front.

total im out @ $350. for the front and about $250. for the rear. not including shocks, which for my drop I used KYB, they were about $40 each.

Remember when you drop the trucks suspension you have to change some stuff so the geometry is correct and the truck is manageable. you dont want it to wander all over the road or take 90* turns at 60mph if you let go of the wheel.

my truck is in paint prison right now, or id get you some pix.
