I think you may end up needing a constant velocity joint at the front of the drive shaft to keep the drive shaft happy wit the travel of laying frame and good ride height. This will be a power limiter if it dead hooks. The soft spring rates and the lack of travel with air bags will make getting it hooked up a bit challenging. Adjustable shocks will help. You can taylor how you run the truck to make up for the suspension if your out to just have some fun.
