Got a question for all of you lowered, bagged and slammed guys. If I bag my C-10, other than a C-Notch and the dropped cross-member - Does the Cab need to be tunneled or notched for for the drive shaft? Replies and Pictures would be
great.

Thanks, Harry

Also, it isn't exactly easy to lay frame with trailing arms (noticed you're swapping in your sig). I had to move my mounting perches in on the axle 2-3" and use 3" blocks to lay out. And you will have to notch cab with 1 piece driveshaft.

Do you plan on sectioning the front crossmember or doing a dropmember. If it's sectioning, shoot me any questions you have, I just finished mine.
