Determine how low you want to go, and stay on that path. Why? Anything else you do will piss you off. It won't be as low as you want, then you will be removing stuff to sell on Craigslist.

Cry once...spend the money on parts you want and get it done. Once you bag your truck, you won't want it any other way.

People take pics of my truck everywhere I go. I didn't do it for that...but it's a side effect

what do I need to do to lay frame, as far as bags go? Assuming the back has to be c notched?

You won't lay frame with just a c-notch.
Look around in the suspension section.
You front crossmember is the lowest point.
The crossmember has to move up with a frame "Z", or replacement crossmember like a Dropmember from Porterbuilt Street Rods.

I understand that, but im new to bags. I need to lower the truck first right? As far as the crossmember, do I put bags on first then work my way down from there? Just trying to find my starting point.

Thanks, Mike

Bags are just an air spring.
If you want to lay frame,... you have to start that plan from the beginning.
Otherwise you will be spending your money twice.

If you want it low,... I would do a 5/7 static drop.
Laying frame will put you in a completely different price range.
What is your budget?
