    Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm planning on bagging my "93" over the winter and I'm sure I'll have many questions. Do i need to put drop spindles on to help get it lower ?

    With black friday and cyber monday sales I,m thinking of gathering some parts.

    Thanks

    Drop spindles help with the alignment And make the wheels tuck up more without making the suspension travel more

    Less negative camber. And with factory arms you will need them to avoid pie cutting the uppers to get the frame to lay.

    Thanks, that all makes sense. What size bags is everybody using ? I,m thinking 6" in the front and 7" in the back . Also whose bags are ya'll using ? I'm sure this is a personal preference thing. Really they all seem to be good quality.

    I use Slam R6's @ the front & Firestone 9000 sleeve bags in front of the axle @ the rear.
    I do a lot of research before I start any project, & I was told that sleeve bags would be the best for the rear. I have had my set in place for a good 7 or more years now,I drive my truck weekly & to shows near & far, have had no problems. You should also plan shocks in the mix,I know a lot of people don't run them ,but you should!!
    Do the research,& you will be happy with the results!!:cool:
