air bag question you might think im stupid

[pissonNOS]

I'm wonder if itd be an alright idea or make sense to install airbags using just the stock spindles? am I going to get much lower than I already and with a 3" drop from cut coils out back im not too worried i can just weld in a notch but up front i dont really want to buy drop soindles right now should i do it ? or would i be better off to save my money for spindles then go bags?

id prob go with drop spindles first...wish I had done that to begin with b/c im getting ready to buy some now. you will thank yourself in the long run.

Do it right, and do it once...

I bagged mine first without spindles, then got spindle late on. ALot of people do it. If I had the money I would've done it all at the same time.

You can do it in phases, but you will end up doing a lot of work. You will need to pull just about everything off and it's easier to do it once.

I damaged the lower ball joints when I pulled everything apart, so I ended up replacing all the ball joints. If you can do it without damage, then you might be ok.

It's still a lot of work you will have to do all over again.

i have my bags in and still have the stock spindles it willget quite a bit lower than with 3 in springs i would do the bags first cause you might be as low as you want to go and there might not be a need for the spindles
if you want to get lower you know what you have to do then

[pissonNOS]

all very valid points guys thank you, pharcyde05 have you run into any problem runnig with the stock spindles and also have any pics of how low it is?

[pharcyde05]

i had to get longer brake lines all the way layed out they were streched tight

ive got a 79 bagged and i lay rockers with stock spindles. now i do have my frame "z" ed 4 inches and i boxed the frame in under the cab to get it to lay but it can be done.
