Question bags vs. springs????

Well I was wondering when I would get to this point(like I don’t have enough going on… I want to go and start another project)….I need to know which way to go…

I want to lower my 70 LWB, I want to know which frame I should use, and what method springs and spindles or bags.

I want a 4/6 drop and I will probably run 17’s. I don’t want to lay frame or hop it around.

My friends are split with which way I should go. I have never ridden in a bagged truck. I have only actually ridden in a lowered (springs) cavalier and it is kinda rough.

I want to go the route that will give me the best ride and handling. I don’t expect the ride of a luxury car…. For that matter anything would be better than what I’m used to. And which will be the most economical.

Here’s my options:

I have the 70 lwb frame with rear coils.

I also have a 72 lwb frame with leafs

Any way I go, I will use the front discs and convert the rear to 5 lug

Should I bag it or spring it?

Thanks,
