here she goes..... LWB to a SWB then air ride
Well I started shortening the frame and bed tonight. I hope to have the bed done by monday or tuesday. I'll post pics tomorrow when theres some light. What do I need to start looking for if I intend on bagging the front and rear. I've never done an air ride system before so I want to do it right. I'm going to notch the frame. I want to get it as low as possible without doing a complete c notch. the front already has an early 80s front crossmember so Id like to get it down as low as I can.

If you notch the frame more than half the height of the rail (even @ half the height) there's serious reduction in the strength. Look @ CPP's HD vesrion of their bolt-in notch or consider one of Porterbuilts 'mild' step notches as they would offer the best strength.
