The basics are 3-4 link the rear, the biggest drop spindal you can get for the front. Laying frame sometimes can be fairly easy but typicaly take a good deal of work. Every truck is a little bit differant event one 150 to the next of the same year.

All you can do is dig in and keep cutting till you can scrape.

basically gotta cut out anything in the front thats going to hit, make brackets for the bags to mount and put them in and the front, also the arms gotta beable to go up, my frame is notched up front so the tyrod can follom them up, in the back you gotta remove your leafs, and spare tire mount and all that basically just axle on jack, then build a 3 or 4 link, you dont want a 2 it rides like hell, you can also you the stock shocks on the back to make it a smoother ride, thats whats on mine and i had to cut a square out of the bed for the pumpkin to fit when its laid out, also got to notch the frame in the back about 3 inches for the axle. This is just a brief description lol

wow only a 3 inch notch. Most 1/2 tons need a much bigget notch. That is cool and makes it easy like my 2500HD. Tiny notch and you are laying!

yeah i know right whatever works

Mike

cuz the frame hangs so damn low

Raevsky97

damn z'ed frames... lol

custm2500

Well my 2500 is the same way. Frame is low as hell so laying out isn't as hard as a 1500 that needs a 10" notch most often!
