You want to lower your truck a little, great, do it with air bags, and make sure if you notch the frame that it is welded solid, and that you box it in fore and aft of the notch, because if you don't, you are going to have issues. As well, you can build a goose neck ball mount right into the top of your bridge. It will work well. but you will need to again make sure everything is structural.
I promise you this though, if you make your truck functional you will enjoy it much more.
That being said, instead of taking the time and effort to make your truck into a slammed truck, why not make it into a functional truck that is a pleasure to use and drive!
MRBEAST, my fabrication skills are not in question here I have been Building custom vehicles for the past 10 years. I was just lookin for pics so that I could begin bouncing ideas in my head, that being said if a vehicle is being built for a specific purpose than it is a functional vehicle.
