You are also talking about more than a bolt on kit if you want to lay frame and tuck the wheels. There will have to be custom work done to the frame and wheelwells to tuck a decent sized wheel. Just like lifting, the lower you go, the more cost involved.

I had the same bodystyle bagged as you do. I can tell you you will need to notch the frame in the front because th elower control arms will bottom out before you lay frame. Unless you plan on running some small wheels an tires. Check it out in my gallery.

ok i'm waiting on taxes but would i be able to just back the rear or would i need to bag both the front and the rear?and you said it's going to cost around about how much did it cost for you (if you don't mind me asking)? i found a complete kit for 1,600$ around about how much would it be to get it put on the truck?

I tall dependson what comes in the kit. I haven't really looked at airride stuff in a good while. So I am not sure what good rpices are. Not sure on how much to get it put on either since I did my own. You definately need to do front and rear to get it to lay flat. Also you need to think abou thow fast you want it to be. I had all 3/8" line but most people are using 1/2" air line. I also had a 12 gallon air tank with a 3/4 hp compressor.

Honestly itll probably run you in the area of around $6-$7k for a custom setup installed with rims, tires, tanks, etc....

My buddy just got his silverado bagged on 22s and it cost him a lil over $7k to lay frame on 22s
