LOL ya man I get ya......... the idea is I raise the front..... drop the back .... now my bumper is ...." say? " about an inch off the ground in back ( in theory) and you take two 6 or 9 inch peices of old leaf spring and have them conntact the ground , now it has some give and your not grinding your frame, bolt some magneziame blocks to them for really pretty SpArKs (to use only in show areas of course where it's legal ) "did it on a 50' ford for a buddy one time" never did check out his hydraulics on the thing tho....... seem'D like it rode REALLY roughe.

and the "bodydrop" your talking about :would consest of , cutting out the floor and moving it "up" so you have less room in the bed but more under.....
good idea! ....... how much should it be moved ? "any Opinions?

i guess im just old skool...... i just drag body *shrugs*

how much do u body drop the bed? it all depends on how far u want to. I've seen people body drop bed 9+" but only have a 3" bd. Its all up to u. u can just do a couple of inches(4-5") and should have way more than enough room under it

the air bags as far as 2500 & 2600 that is their size, and load rating. Alot of people run 2500 in the front (because of space restraints) and 2600 in the rear. if you go to this website they have a pretty good chart if you want to look at some load to bag height characteristics. Also the bigger bag 2600 can handle more weight, also get the same amount of lift with the 2500 size with less air pressure.

kit looks pretty complete, you can get an adjustable pressure switch at home depot for $15, you should probably ask the guy what fittings and what size come with the fitting back, I spent more money on my fittings and copper line then I did my air bags lol good luck man!
