Drop coils and leafs or air bags????
 
I was wondering if you guys had any preference on ether of these ways. Please let me know what you all would recomend. Also any price information on air bags would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance.

For the front, dropped spindles are the way to go. They give you 2.5" with no change in ride quality, whereas 2" dropped springs will bounce you around. Check out http://www.earlyclassic.com/dropkits1.htmlfor some good info and quality parts.

Do you recomend putting bags in the front as well? If so should i get the 4 way control to inflate/deflate each bag individually or is it ok to go with a 2 way control to inflate/deflate the front and back together? Thankx

If you don't get the more expensive solenoid controls(700$) for independent control of each corner you will have more of a tendency to lean when going around corners. A low buck solution to this is to run one controller & guage(165$) for each end of truck as it does the same but with more airlines to the cab. If your going less than 5" in front I would use spindles w/springs as you can generally trim 1 coil off a spring w/o hurting the ride quality & you won't have to worry about the front alignment changing. Easiest thing for the leaf rear is a flip kit.

You can put a 3 position valve at each corner. That is what I suggest to prevent leaning. The 3 position valves ar about $90 each
