a buddy of mine has a 99crewcab dually thats bagged he drives it everyday and routinely drives 4 hour round trips to pick up other trucks which he hauls on a car hauler. he said it rides good and tows good. the only recomendation he has is make sure all your ball joints are good shape.

this is what i did with mine.

my friend has the same kit that your looking at and the only thing is the notch isnt big enough he's less than an inch from bottoming out on the notch he got with the kit

Tylerhuff how much higher does your friend truck sit compared to yours? I already have one bagged and want to put this kit on my daily.

his frame is about 5 inches off the ground he has a lot smaller tires too. mine are 32" tall tires. i wish i had a picture of his truck but i dont, he's redoing the notch right now and putting helper bags on it. oh and he had to cut a hole in the bed floor with that kit for the pumpkin to stick through

I am also in the process of lowering my dually but a little confused on the right steps to take.

I used to own this Dually. It had dropped spindles, coils, and a flip kit. Bought a house and had to sell. Had to raise it back up to sell it. Still have the lowering kit laying in the garage. I made my own c-notch out of tubing and plated the frame in. I miss my ole Dually even though the paint job sucked!

I have always liked those '85 only paint schemes. Although that isn't my first choice for colors (silver/gray with a black stripe/bed and red pin stripes) it looks pretty good.
I have never seen that on a CC before. I always wondered what they did for the the paint on the back of he cab; whether it was on the back of the cab like a regular cab or if it came up behind the front door so the back of the cab and rear doors were the secondary colors. Now I know!

My dad had a C-10 painted the colors that you mention.
