Word about Airbags
THEY LOOK GREAT ON OUR TRUCKS!
They are hella Expensive, but the ladys, they a-love-em.
also, if you get a C-notch in your frame, god for bid, do what i didnt do and line your frame up and dont leave it on a lift for a week. you will see a noticeable gap in the bed and the cab.
Also if you did what i did, and drop it a full 9 in the front 11 in the back, you have to cut the bed rails or notch them the way i did or your are going to be replacing the driveshaft ever other month.
(Dont ask me how i know this)
Also, to get a SUPER high front end, for that lovely "my trucks rearend is super full of crap) look, you will have to grind out the front frame or beat it in so the bags will sit futher into the frame or else it will rub like a Swedish Massage.
If you can aforid it, get ladder bars when ever possible, if you are going tricked out like mine, do leafs but be warned, your ride will extremely suffer! But... and this is a big but, if you do leaf springs, its much easier to to Side/Side action.
Latterbars are great for drag racing with bags, but depends on if your going to use 2 link or 4 link setup.
Hope this info fills you in on airbags for F-150s and if anyquestions adrise, please feelfree to ask me here and i will anwser them in a timely fashion.
Thanks,
