Guys I'm new, and I just want some advice. I wanna lower my 09 hoe. Toying with either bags or Eibach pro kit. I had other questions, too...but for some reason I'm drawing a blank.

What is your question/s? What are you trying to accomplish? Budget? What air bag kit are you looking at?

I guess I had a few questions also.

Honestly, no clue. I've never worked with bags before. I'd like to find what I want, then save my money for it. The pro kit wasn't exactly cheap...but I guess I'd like to stay in the 2k or less range. I don't want a drastic drop. Just a bolt on that won't require major work to avoid scrubbing. Right now it's a completely stock LT with 18s. I'm thinkin 20 bc I like to keep some rubber.

If you want bags then 2k won't cut it unless you find a good deal on used. I guess you could get the bags and brackets on a deal for that but you would still need tanks, fittings, air line, etc. In that price range I would look at static drops, norcalss sells a bag kit for the back for fairly reasonable but you would have to read up on it.

Eibach pro kit will drop the rear about 2". I have some rear springs for sale if you want them.

I'd probably go with Tony's 2/3-4 kit and cornering package should give your truck a nice stance and better handling

Yeah ideally the Belltech 2/3-4 is money. Much cheaper than 2k and like said above you could do sway bars, rear shocks, even have a shop do free travel mod for less than $2k

Free travel mod: removing the rear bumpstops and brackets to allow optimum travel and cleanance for the rear end. Some add new smaller bumpstops other just cut it out and leave it be
