Re: New favorite (custom) truck - Praise the Lowered!

It's nice...not my cup of tee, but looks like nice craftsmenship.

As for channeling the floor...I know at least on Monster Garage they didn't channel the floor, they channeled the body. The only possible way to channel the floor would be to cut it out completely, and then weld it back in on the bottom of the frame instead of the top (you literally sit between the frame rails.) For a body channel, you take the whole body off and then reweld your body mounts back on in the new, lower position. Usually when channeling a car you'll also lower it (as is the case in this truck). That rear air-bag setup posted is pretty big. Normally, you can just use a set of airbags in your stock suspension, but you may not be able to 'lay frame (let the frame of the car sit on the ground. The front suspension may be done the same way, with the inner-fender wells removed so that the tires can sit all the way in. thats basically it in a nutshell.
