C-notched, air ride, no cut out bed. The top of the pumpkin barely touches the underside of the bed floor when it's all the way down.

man I gotta get my truck running again...all three of those are awesome. I love them when they are "all the way in the weeds" but they still look amazing with functional bed too. That's the way I'm going.
