    either kit doesnt "lay it out" unless thats a new term on lowering the truck...

    i run hangers and shakles on my truck, and when i had 20's with 275/45/20 in the rear i had some (not a lot) of gap left...

    6" flip kit will look like mine in the rear. bagging it will lay it out.

    5/7 will get it pretty low. I had 4/8 and it was pretty low

    What ^ said, hangers and shackles get you about 4" lower and a flip kit gets you about 6" lower.

    VVVVV 4-6 drop on my truck, probably can't do that much drop and run 24's. go for the shackles and hangers or bag that sucker. everyone has told me to use DBRODS for the bags, some of the prettiest welding I have ever seen. They will definitely be bagging my truck when I am ready to do it.
