Using dual bag plates in the front. Pros cons?

[Chlsnk]

My truck is a 84' 1/2 ton

So I am tired of tearing up my front suspention with a static drop so I have got the money set aside to bag the front of my truck.

I have been doings quite a bit of reading but haven't read anything about running dual plates in the front instead of the more common plate and cup set up. The guy selling the dual plates claims that it will allow me to not trim 3/4 inch or so off my sway bar and the dreaded bag rub I read about quite a bit. Is he blowin smoke or is this a good thing?

Also my reasoning with dual plates is that I won't go quite as low as if I had cups on the lower control arms since with cups the bad is recessed slightly into the LCA?

Please pros/cons give me your input i'm eager to learn

Most front bags compress to approximately 3" tall.
You can remove your front springs and place a 3" block of wood across the lower a-arm to simulate the amount of drop you will have.
Trimming the bumpstop off is not that big of deal.
It's up to you how low you want to go.
Cups will get you lower.
Tubular a-arms,... lower yet.

I like to get the lowest possible set up,... to aid with ride height.
Static drops look cool driving around.
To me,... a bagged truck that looks like a 4x4,... when driving,... isn't that great looking.

Well said.

Plates will make you sit a hair higher then cups. If you have drop spindles, you can make it back up.
Dominators seem to be the cheapest ones around. I've run em and they are great. I ran 2500's on my caddy, and fullsize. Most will tell you to run 2600's but the 2500's have good lift at low PSI
