1960 longbed lowering options?

I have a 1960 long bed step side, that I'm wanting to lower. My problem is I haven't really done anything like this so I'm wondering what all are my lowering options. I'm not exactly sure how low I want to go but really low would be the best way to describe it. Keeping in mind that I don't want to mess with a pump and tanks if I go with bags. Of course I'm not sure is it possible to have bags that stay at one level full time? I'm not trying to be to vague, I just really don't know much about it other than its what I want.

Re: 1960 longbed lowering options?

Spend some time reading others builds, take a look at the FAQ sections and just get a feel for what others have done.

The options are unlimited, but what isn't is time, money, and experience. Sit down and figure out what you want the truck to DO. Is it a daily driver, show stopper, toy hauler? It's pretty easy to make something "low" but making it functional is a whole other story.
