hey guy's I just found this area. I had never noticed it before but glad I found it.
Can some of you more experience guy's lead me down the right path. I want to install disc brakes on the front of my ramp truck. I'd like to lower it also. Also how to install the hold downs into the bed. The bed seems thin for holding a full size load. I have the winch installed and put reinforcement's under the bed for it. Just not sure how are what to use for the bed.

1. Front disc what years to look for, and will 1/2 ton 1 ton which to use. Will I need dropped spindles to get it lower up front?

2. I have a bag system with 4-2500 bags, is this enough bag?

3. Installing tie down points.
Pictures of it now.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
