Ok I need some help from the experts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alright guys, I have a '63 Chevy 1/2 ton Long/Fleet. My dad and I have been talking about putting bags on my truck so I can cruise at stock height but when we go to the races or car shows I can set it down. I don't want to lay frame or nothing, just lower it as much as I can. So this question is for all you guys that know what you're doing.

I want to bag it but I DO NOT want to chop up the bed or frame for C-notches, so what is the lowest I can go without doing any of that stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And if any of you guys have a truck or pics of a truck that's done like I wanna do mine then I'd love to see it.

Thanks in advance

You could use a ECE 46/ drop kit and be low all the time, no c-notch.

Bagging your truck is simple .... it's all a bolt on situation.

Get some quality bags with internal bump-stop, and you could get nice and low, and not worry about hack'n the frame.

Bolt on front plates/bags/cups and bags in place of coils in the rear.

Good Luck

Not sure if this will help you but this one is bagged without any c notch, it does have drop spindles and Ridetech lower control arms so your bagged truck would sit a little taller in front but the rear axle tubes are sitting against the frame in the picture. He had about $850 in his complete airride parts not including the spindles and control arms.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the help.
I really like the way that truck looks, but I aint got that kind of money. My truck will be a low-budget build. lol
