How much drop can i expect in the front using bags only? Do most run drop spindles with the bags?

You need spindles in the front to keep the alignment a little closer and to get that extra 2-3 inches of drop.

You can get a lot of drop with just the bags but like ghetocrewzer said the spindles help you with the alignment and If you want the truck to lay out you will need the spindles.

I've got bags and no drop spindles...its gets it pretty low, but there is still some pretty crazy camber issues when you drive low. If you can afford it, get the spindles and get'r down on the ground!

If you are putting the bags on a 67-71, I would recommend the drop spindles not only for camber issues as discussed above, but also to upgrade to disk brakes.

Aces, are 72's not included?!?!

btw, I am running spindles and bags and the camber does not get too out of control

Thanks for the input, i have discs on my 71 now, but i think i will go with the lowered spindles anyways to keep the camber under control.

71-72 came with disc brakes... so assuming the extra benefit is only on 67-70.
