What is going on all?

Just got a 2000 F150 supercab and am seriously considering bagging it. I know absolutely nothing about air bag suspensions except that they look sweat. I did a little bit of reading on this page and am only more confused about what I need. I have read some threads where people are using one system in the rear (air bar) and one system in the front (front cool ride or shockwave). I also see a complete set like the Big red Max system and the big red 4 way system. I have a 2000 F150 supercab with 22 inch Panther juce 6 with 305/40/22. I drive the truck every day and really want to be able to adjust my ride height so I feel that bags are the way to go. I want to be able to get the ride height as low as possible with out having to cut the be and do any major body work. I do not mind if I have to C notch the frame. What do you guys recommend and what is the difference between the Big Red kits and the air bar in the rear and either cool ride or shock wave in front. Sorry for going on, but I am very interested and what to get my learn on by you guys.

The AirBar sounds perfect for what you are looking for on the rear. And one of the 4 way Big Red kits will work fine. On the front I would go with Shockwaves due to the wide tires.

The 4 way Big Red kit is not a stand alone air suspension kit??? I need the Airbar kit and the shockwave up front as well as the big red kit. I thought the big red kit was a total airbag kit. Please educate. With this set up how much will I be able to drob the truck. Right now it is stock height and need to go down a bunch. For shows and parked will I be able to tuck the wheels. If I were to change the front tires to a 275 or 280 what would that better. Sorry if the question sound stupid, but I really do not know alot about air suspensions and before I spend alot of money I want to become educated.
