Basically you cut out the floor or bed over the rear axle and build the suspension using airbags so you can have the rear axle come up above the floor, therefore lower the vehicle. heres a picture of one of the setups out of a truck.




The front suspensions are harder because you have to get the wheels to tuck in and not hit stuff. Having one of these suspensions is the best security system for your expensive wheels. When you shut the car off, you can drop the car down on its frame and no one can get a jack under your car to steal your rims!
