My big question is..... well 2 really...

First of all (on a bagged setup) drivablity...
My truck is my work truck/ hauler/ furniture mover/ dailey driver.... will I loose driveablity or use. I see the bagged guys with the big cut out in the bed.... do I have to do something like that to bag it or is that just for the guys that want to lay frame?

Second is cost. I love the idea of having a lowered truck, but with the flip of a switch Im at stock height in case the weather gets crappy with snow or I decide that I dont want to drag on a speed bump or something.... I cannot do this myself as I obviously know nothing about it. So for a full setup, installed.... what am I looking at.
All I want is as metioned above. Something I can controll the heigth of, dont want to lay frame or bounce, side to side would be ok but not needed.. I do need something that can take the abuse of a lead foot and crappy ohio roads. It needs to be something that can get me to work and back, everyday reliably... (hour drive one way).

So am I dreamin? or can you build a bag setup to take the abuse of day to day life and not have to worry about beeing late for work cuz your truck wont come off the ground....

if its gonna be your dd and you need it for work i wouldnt do it espcially living in ohio. i means bags are plenty reliable but theres just too many things that can go wrong. im sure that all the bagged guys with have a fit with this statement but a nice static drop sounds perfect for you. still retain 4wd and you wont have any suspension problems.


also outkast do you got any pics of your truck lowered now?

the only problem I see with that is you have to allign your truck at ride height. If you decide to be high one day and low the other you may run into tire wear problems.
