I'm doing an air bag install as we speak. I have a 71 fleet long bed with 3" drops in the front. I won't be doing a c notch for the rear. From what I've been able to put together and eye everything up it looks as if with the bags deflated in the rear, she'll drop at least 6". The front will drop about 6" as well. I'll post up when the install is complete...JK

well the back will lay out but youll have to do some other things to the front to get to lay flat like a crossmember drop or Z the frame
