    I can't decide if I wanna stay static and do a 4/6 or just bag it. It's my daily driver, so I need reliability. Let the great debate begin.

    Please help me decide.

    4/6.
    Then get another truck later on and bag it for show. =P

    I'm working on this truck then when I am COMPLETELY (including engine swap) done with it I will start a OBs or 67-72 bagged project. =)

    i would just go static for an easy install, and the reliablity. Not to mention its a little cheaper ;)

    get bags later on if u really want them... but for heavens sake.... i need to sit down with yur kid and tell him why euro tails are lame.

    Stick with static for now. When you have something else you can drive everyday, then you can bag it. Static is just so simple and worry-free for the everyday grind.

    If you dont wanna worry about it. Just stay static. I love my bags and everything, but you definitely have a ton more stuff to worry about.

    all depends on what you want......If you do a quality install, the bags will be just as reliable as a static drop. Usually, the folks that have problems are the guys with crappy installs.

    Re: To bag or stay static?/....that is the question.

    i vote static for the same reasons the other guys mentioned...i would love to bag my truck, but i drive daily and depend on the reliability factor...so for now, i'd just go static and maybe bag it later if you get another daily driver...that's what my plans are

    static IMO i never had any problems with daily driving my old bagged rig, but i prefer a good stiff static suspension for daily driving.
