Budget minded Air suspension....
Hey newbie here know that it has prolly been answered several times.. I have an 81 C10 and was wondering what is the cheapest way to air bag the front and rear to get them both to lay frame... Currently sits on 255/60-15 tires..... How much notch, bed mod, and money would it take to do.... Have friends that can do the frame welding with no problem... I welcome any and all suggestions on how to do this?

definitely check out suicidedoors, thats where im getting my gear from. Im not ready for the rear yet, only doing the front and I have 8-9" of rear drop static, so it should sit fairly pretty.

Welp, flip kit + lowered leafs + a hanger. Its loooow back there, If I didnt have the frame notched it'd be sitting on the frame.

Re: Budget minded Air suspension....
Here is how it sits currently, 5/5 drop with 255/60x15 up front and 275/60x15 on the rear... Thinking about bagging front just haven't decide yet. I have the rear shackles and a 2 inch drop block set laying around. Would have to notch the frame real hard though Haven't decided yet...
