lol, Ill bet you a six pack of kegs Im correct.

seriously though, he had the plans of getting his truck into "Truckin" , but they pretty much told him if he bagged it he would get in. He refused to do that since bags take the performance aspect away from cornering and such. The thing I dont know is what he used up front for the drop, I want to say he used some drop spindles and a slightly shorter spring

Not bagged. He started with a Bell-Tech 3/4. Rich ran that for awhile then ditched the front coild in favor of cutting the stock springs. No bags.

He did cut them. That was the only way he could get the height and rake he wanted. Looks great to me.

that must be why his camber always seemed a little off, I have heard cutting the coils really screws with the camber alignment. It did look good either way though

Really...

What kind of effect did that have on the handling?

Truck not bagged, his stock coils were trimmed (I have been told this by several local guys), with drop A-Arms and a 2"/3" drop spring you can get this low with the stock 18" rims.

If you have 20" the story changes.

With my A-Arms installed I to noticed how much my deep sump trans pan sticks out now. Will try and build a protector plate.bar when I install the drop spring in the future.
