ok just out of curiosity, how close would my frame be to the ground with a ride tech air bar and suicidedoors 2.5" c-notch kit? I'm running 235/35/r19s

close enough to piss you off because it was not low enough

i think it leaves you about an inch or two off the ground just get a rear kit from SD and you'll be alot happier cuz you actually lay

ok josh (stock sucks) has the airbar on his dime and he said its only about 1.5" from layin in the back. Thats with 275/35/18s. So with the bolt-in c-notch from suicide doors that grants you another 2.5" of clearance, he would lay with an extra inch to play with. Now a 275/35/18 tire is 25.58" tall and a 235/35/19 tire which is what i'm running is 25.48" tall. In conclusion, my tires are actually shorter than his so why couldn't i run the air-bar and the c-notch in the back and lay? I am just trying to work some shit out to where i won't have to hack my bed all to shit. All i would need to cut the bed for would probably be wheel tubs and a little place for the pumpkin. Does anybody understand what i'm talkin about here?

you will def not lay with those tires and any size notch with the AirBar. the biggest problem once its notched is the driveshaft will hit the clamshell bracket on the gas tank crossmember, and theres nothing you can do about that but start welding stuff. also those tires are 1-1.5" too tall to lay out without cutting the wheel wells open..
