cant wait to see the pics! and also how low the rear will go with the notch...get a pic of all the stuff under the truck so we can see the set-up!

with the notch it should go about 3 inches lower but when im getting the notch im also going to get smaller tires im running 305 40s

i got a few questions for the bagged guys
now my service ride control light is on is ther a way to trick that off?
also the front rides reall nice but the back is bouncy as hell could it be that because my big tires i have to run with it jack up so is that making it bouncy because with the bounce it makes it handle bad also i dont exept it to handle like a sports car .

Nice. As for the bounce, it will actually get worse the lower you go. What kind of shocks do you have(I don't see any)? The less PSI you have in your bags the sloppier the ride will get...... good luck homie...smaller tires are a must if you want to tuck the rear and don't forget to roll/trim the fender lip.

Good call. It looks like you might need shorter end links on your sway bar as well, that could be causing a lot of sway for sure if you have the stock end links on. Was your truck lowered before the bags? If it wasn't lowered at least 5'' in the back you need a few things:
-shorter end links on your sway bar
-sway bar needs to move over about 2'' to the passenger's side to clear the pan hard bar. You just have to move the driver's side bracket over
an 1'' or so and get offset end links
-Trailing arm relocators. These will help with your pinion angle(I'm pretty sure that is what they do) but you need them for a 5''+ drop.

If you don't have any or some of those components that is certainly the cause of the sketchy ride. If you have those things then the shocks should hem it up. It also looks like dude left your bump stop brackets in with no bump stops, you should just cut the whole bracket off it will give you a lot more travel. It's like 30-45min work with a sawzall. They will have to come off when he notches it anyway.

I'll tell you what....looking at your undercarriage makes me soooooo glad I live in AZ. That is some rusty ass shit there........
