yeah body drop is alot of work...would guess atleast 80+ hours of fab work....but to take up the frame gap to body gap to ground they make those thingys called rocker pannels....they will help you cheat a bit to look lower.

Ok, today I called airride and recieved some useful information,
1. Load capacities on an airbar setup meet stock specs. No loss of towing or payload capacities.
2. They use firestone 2 layer bags, which have an expected life (with proper installation of 30+ years)
3. Rise times with a single 5 gallon tank and vair 400 compressor with 3/8 line are around 3-4 seconds.
