How much ride comfort do you compromise when lowering our trucks? Any info between using airdags vs. flip kit would be great. Thanks for the help guys!!

If you can afford it,full air bag suspension is the way to go. The ride is supposed to be like a cadillac or lincoln.If you want to go with a 2/4 drop with a flip kit,your ride will not be as smooth as stock and if you ever haul anything,the truck will bottom out more often.A better compromise would be a 2/4 kit with rear air bag assist and dropped spindles in the front and a not to aggressive shock absorber(not a handling only type of shock).Bottom line,it is about how much $$$$ you have and if you want smooth/semi-smooth or a little rough.
