Cool Who on this board is bagged?

Im looking for some info on it. Just front and back. No side to side. THINKING about taking out my sus lift and bagging everything for maybe not so stiff of a ride and more fun. I know I will have to change tires and maybe loose the BL.

Ok, here is the deal. My susp is far more rough that what it should be but I knew the affects of phucking around with the the OEM susp geometry so dont go there. However, it feels like Im riding the road, seriously.

Two, I can probably be more fast with a lower truck. Frog, we said it before. We know we can go fast and we do our cams because we want to have that option when some azzhole comes up next to us and thinks were slow because we're big.

Three, my wife isnt really smiling when she has to lift and pull herself up into the truck and I dont like how she slides off the seat and out of the truck. Eventually what will lead to seat wear.

Silver, hmmmmmmm..........tucking? IDK about that. I dont think I will be laying frame. Im thinking stock height and then lifting up, not stock height and dropping. It would be cool if I had extreme travel but I dont think I have the pockets for it. But Ive got to look around and see what all is out there and soak some knowledge.

Overall, Im not out to hooptie hop the front end 15" off the ground. Just want to lower when i wanna race and ride high when i wanna cruise.

how about less aluminum and more rubber/air. I got a friend 'round these parts whose idiot son has the same Z71 truck as his daddy. Pappa has 35s on 16s and son has 35s on 22s. Ride quality is night/day...
