A schrader valve is like a tire's valve stem. It's just a less expensive alternative compared to buying an air management system. You can manually fill/deflate each bag with it.

Re: 6" front drop

I think mine is about 6/8. It was Scot's DD, and will be mine when it comes back from Vintage Air. You have to pay attention to what's in the road, but I don't have a problem with it. The control arms are bent, but that was from all of the road construction that popped up by Scot's place in the last couple of years. I was figuring to have to raise it up when I first got the truck, but I don't think that is going to happen. I like the way it sits too much. My commute is about 30 miles each way. I drove the truck probably once a week to work before the engine/trans swap. Now that it is injected with an overdrive, that will help.
