static drop question?

Hey guys getting ready to do my brake conversion and need to figure out if I want bags or static drop. What is the lowest static drop I can do with stock inner front fenders and a c-notch in back with no rubbing. Not worried about having to widen the rear wheel tubs or modifying the bed floor a little as I still have to install it. If I can be at the same cruising height as having bags with good ride quality I think I would rather just do a static drop. I don't think its worth an extra $2500 just to be able to drop it a few more inches when parked. I will be ruining 20's all the way around. Post up some pictures with drop size and 20's if you can please. Thank you

Re: static drop question?

Cant help you on the drop questions but I have ridden in both bagged and static dropped trucks and the bagged ones ride so much better.

You don't have to lay out with a crossmember but they do give you other benefit (steering, handling, etc).
