i think bags will be around 1000 for a cheap kit then install if u don't do it your self. but a nice kit will be like 2000 i think. I really don't know for sure.

I have a 3/6, no need for smaller than stock
tires. another 1" up front, and you will
definately need a lower profile tire. you will
need to C-notch the rear for 6"

it sounds like the drop will cost almost as much as the bags...and i would rather have the bags if it will only be a little more..can somebody give me an estimate on how much it will cost for bags with installation(both a cheap set and a decent set estimate would be appreciated). thanks.

anywhere from $1500-7000 depending on what you get (size valves, lines, bags, tanks, # and brand of compressors, ect), who does it (there is a BIG differance in price between joe shmoe's driveway, and MIC) and what you want done (from 2 switches to 10 or more, 4-link or mono link, ect.)
the average price i'd say is around $2500-3k. if you are the type who wants a verry reliable truck, and uses it everyday, think long and hard before you cut it up. and research the shops that you are thinking of taking it to!!!! i can not stress that enough! i have seen stuff break after being bagged, and its a wonder no one got killed in the middle of it.
ENJOY!

Hey everybody, I have a pic of my truck, it has about a 4/6 drop: I have 3" coils (with 1/2 coil cut off) and 4" blocks and a leaf taken out in back. I need to c-notch the rear though cuz i hit the frame every once in a while; but i barely scrape anywhere(I kinda miss it) It's a helluvalot cheaper than bags (BUT NOWHERE NEAR AS MUCH FUN!). mine was about 300 w/ shocks; Bags are at least 1300 (bare minimum w/o labor) I know, I've checked alot! And kotaon20s is right: about 2500 is nice.
Anyway, here's the link: sorry it's alot of pics of my carclub, but my green dakota is in there:

Man I have a 4/6 drop and I love it, just make sure if your not going to notch, then cut the hell out the bump stops and as far as scaping, nothing realy gets hurt too bad, if you like to speed you better know how the road is, I have 17x8 kmc wheels with 225/55 r17 tires and everthing is coool.
I will see if I can get some pics soon.
