    ya i caught that episode last saturday too. im looking forward to seeing next weeks episode, ive been pondering c notching the rear and after watching that show, it looks as easy as i thought. ive already lowered the truck 6 in the rear and 4 in front but ive been dying to turn my 66 longbed into a pan dragger. its just more money right?

    They used the AirRide Technoligies setup made for our trucks. Although a tad on the pricy side, if it's like all their other setups it's well engineered and worth every penny !

    The next time around I plan on going that route.

    i agree dval, im actually considering tearing out my early classic parts in the rear and doing the air ride in the rear similiar to what they did in the show. i think with the skill level im at it will be pretty easy. it wont be to much money wasted and i can always go back to the early classic parts or use them on another project.
