What he said.
Also, you have a few options if you want to get low and keep the bed.
You can c-notch the frame and get pretty low. Look at the Porterbuilt Stage 2 kit for a nice low trailing arm bag setup.
You can go with a step notch, but keep it lower than others, then simply raise the bed to clear the bridge. But not to the extreme like Delmo's truck. You wouldn't lay frame, but you could get about 3" off the ground and only lose about 4" of depth to the bed.
Or on the cheap you could swap the rear out for a stock trailing arm setup then replace the coils with bags. You can get lower than most static drops but have a range of motion and an improved ride.
