Bagged or dropped ??
Well since your keeping the 4x4 an starting a new project. i would bag it but it takes awhile to do it right. cas you must find a cutter/wielder to cut your frame and noch your frame together.
If the new truck would be a daily, you might just want to stay with a static. With that being said though, there is a big difference between a truck that lays frame or body and one that only lays an 1" off the ground.
If you plan to drive it a ton, and want bags, limiting the suspension to an 1" off the ground is probably a good idea. I must worn you though, once you are bagged and spend a ton of money getting it setup just right, you will want to be lower.
If it is truly going to be a toy and not an everyday truck, I would suggest you skip a step and make it lay frame, or better yet do a SFBD.
Also, Milt brought up quite a few good points as far as designing the suspension is concerned. If you don't plan to do the work yourself, do a lot of research on each shop. Some of the "best" shops make terrible decisions about design
