Your "Tow Pig" is awesome, but I'm kinda partial to black crew cab duallies.

Does yours bottom out a lot?  My dually has a flipkit in the back and a c-notch with drop shocks and it bottoms out all the time over anything.  It has some little skinny airbags, but they dry-rotted and only hold air for a few hours.  Even when the bags are full we seem to bottom out on some dips in the road.  I was just wondering if that's just something us lowered guys have to live with.

That truck would look even sweeter with some big rig wheels!

Do you have a c-notch like him under the bed? You'd be suprised how that extra space will help. Atleast cut off you're bump stops and the brackets.

I haven't looked at mine in a while, but I think my c-notch is smaller than his.  I'm thinking about putting leafspring clamps on mine until I can afford new airbags.
