Lowering a Truck with Bags

Hi Everyone,

I want to lower my 1972 C10 with bags and a c-notch. I'm pretty much a beginner with trucks, but want to learn how to do this. Could anyone please let me know what I'd need to buy/do to perform this modification? Pictures and brands of good equipment would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Take a look at the suspension section. Lots of good info over there.

I have been, but I haven't found a thread yet that explains the process vividly.

There should be a air ride install w/pics in the FAQ/truck tech section.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
