Time to head to the polls guys! Do I bag it? or go with coil-overs??? (any advice?)
I am stuck right now, I bought a complete coil-over set-up but it can't really get me to the 5-7 drop that I want, i can't get the shocks to fit under the back and still have them function fully at that ride height.
This truck is intended for pro-street, but I don't know how good of a launch air bags will give me when leaving that red light?! so what do I do?? go with a higher ride hight, or go with bags?? keep in mind I'm running a BBC 496 with 620hp. do I sacrafice looks or performance?

I think you can build it to use both! For piece of mind on my air ride setup I have my suspension snubbers set fairly conservatively so that under hard driving I am not dragging parts on the ground or rubbing the tires on the fenders. Once you do that you can feel free to unleash all that hp!
