SUSPENSION QUESTION

[okuma]

    I HAVE THIS DOUGHT I CALLED STYLING CONCEPTS TO ORDER 3"DROPPED SPINDLES AND A 5-6" FLIP KIT, MY QUESTION IS DO I NEED SPINDLES AND/OR A FLIP KIT EVEN THOUGH I PLAN TO INSTALL BAGS VERY SOON! THE IDIOT AT STYLING CONCEPTS TOLD ME "I DIDN'T NEED NO SPINDLE OR FLIP IF WAS GOING WITH BAGS" IS THIS TRUE?? I HONESTLY DISAGREE, BUT NEED MORE INPUT.......                   {sorry for writing in caps.... i realized to late and didn't want to re-write everything again}

You don't need any lowering components to bag a truck. But you do need them to get it down low which is the reason most people bag trucks.

this is exactly what i tought myself and them sales support team from stylin conceps do not know crap! i guess. air bags will adjust height, but drop components will drop it more, correct.

Actually, he's not an idiot. You don't NEED any of that with a proper bag setup at all. If you're running a proper bag setup with a link setup for the rear (2-link, 4-link, etc), the spindles are the only thing you might actually WANT. Bags with stock spindles might not quite get you all the way down. The spindles will give you an extra 3" without having to do much. If you have a link setup in the rear, the flip kit is just a waste of your money because you won't even have your leaf springs anymore.

exactly, it depends on how you plan to drop it and what setup you plan to use.

If you run spindles, you will have to modify the bag mount height to adjust for the height difference.
As for the rear, if you are running an air over leaf you will need it, if you are putting a links, you won't.
