sectioned crossmember and air ride

Just wondering about this combination. I understand that sectioning the crossmember will lower the front. But, how well does this work with airbags? Cause any problems or actually work well together?

Nice. I love the dually build. Such a beautiful truck. Glad to know that it was done that way.
