Got a question. I am in the process of mocking up the front suspension on my new project. this truck is going to be converted to 4x4, and I am using a Dana 44 front axle. This axle normally has parrallel leaf springs, That usually would be fine, but on this truck I am looking to make it quite a bit lower, even though it will be 4 wheel drive. So it looks like I am going to go with a 4 bar in the front and "airbags" instead of the leaf springs. But even doing that to get the ride height I want I am going to have to "C" notch the frame. So the question is: How much axle travel is really needed?

Wide open question I do realize but I have found that in this begining stage, or planning stage,more opinions are usually a good thing.
