Anyone??

A simple bolt-in c-notch doesn't require the bed floor to be raised. A step notch where the clearance above the rear-end housing is taller than the original frame does require floor mods.

Which do you want to do?

Look for "project slow build" by rokcrln and you can check out how I did one of mine.

I dont know what to do...I have airbags and currently riding on the rear bump stops. I checked the clearance from the top of diff to the bed...its about 3 inches. What options do I have? What is the diff between a bolt in notch and anything else? Sorry...new to this method

What trailing-arm crossmember are you using: Stock, modified stock, or aftermarket?

Stock...But remember its a lwb truck. I have not seen a aftermarket one for the lwb...only the swb. (are you asking due to the driveshaft?)
