Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build

Here is the deal with designing a truck, you need to take into account all aspects of the build to get the look you want. Once you start modifying parts or stances it is going to be like a train, one car moves the next, one mod effects the next. If you keep those wheels and bag it then you truck weight will be sitting on the wheel wells when the tires bottom out on the wells. A bag system is going to be more expensive than some dropped spindles. The whole system has to work even when air'd down. If you lost pressure while on the freeway and your truck came down on the wheel wells it could be the end of a nice truck. Think through the whole process and don't go the cheap route on suspension.
