i know for a fact i got more than 2 inches of clearance b/w the tires and the fender wells on mine, ill have to double check that 1.5" measurement...but from the last time i checked it i was almost certain i could do it with the c-notch and not a bridge

well, the wheel wells arnt the main problem, its the clamshell bracket like i mentioned earlier, the driveshaft will come up and hit it right after the axle enters the c-notch. and then youll also run into problems with the bags and shocks bottoming out if you modify the gas tank crossmember.

yeah the driveshaft is 1/2" from touchin the bracket air-ride uses sittin on the frame. i was gonna get the gas tank cross member from suicidedoors and mount the tab for the wishbone and then i would have enough clearence based on what i remember, as far as the shocks and bags i never tested that...i told mtmcalli to go with the suicidedoors link cause its cheaper and will work just as good..

i was thinking you could just use a behind and under the axle kit from sd and the 2.5" notch with the bolt in three link and you should be able to get a bit lower with out having to cut the shit outa your bed

I have 235/55/16's and Im 2 1/8" from laying frame and 1 1/8" from laying the carrier bearing and thats dragged flat. It would lay the bearing if it wasnt flat. Now I have my bags over the axle w/ only 1 1/2 leaf's left. All Id have to do is run a 215/35/18 put in my carrier bearing x-member and put a pair of 2" drop spindles and it will lay frame. Now w/ the air bar Im not sure if that will get you any lower then having it over the axle but thats the way I was going to do it so I wouldnt have to cut my bed either. Im trying to do the same thing as you with the biggest rim I can get under it. Maybe try a 215/35/19 that will save you another 1/2". Hit me up one day if you wanna talk a bit about this.
