Possible to bag a truck without frame notch?

Is it possible to do that? I saw a bagged truck today but the bed looked to be it's normal self..not raised or cut at all. So I guess there was no frame notch right? I waited almost 2 hours to ask the owner, but he never came back, so I had to leave.

Anyhow I ask because the only thing preventing me from bagging my truck is the frame notch issue. I do not want to cut into the frame. I don;t really care if I don't "lay frame"...just want to get it low. Right now it only has lowering springs from the PO.

I have a '65 by the way.

Re: Possible to bag a truck without frame notch?

You can most definitely bag a truck without a c-notch. Of course, the c-notch will allow you to go a little lower, but isn't necessary. We have the components to set you up and put together a kit that works best for you.

Give us a call and be glad to help.

Nice truck Sambrutay!

Re: Possible to bag a truck without frame notch?

Thanks for the info guys. here's my truck. It just has lowering coil springs right now. I need to get an air setup going.

By the way, is there a detailed tech article or "how-to" covering installation? I have installed coilover suspension in my other modern cars, but I haven;t done airbag installs yet.

Nice truck Sambrutay!
Thank you.

Question: What are the user advantages of the Pro1 Air Management Kit over the manual kit?
