83 sierra shortbed 1500/c10

i have looked through your catalog a few times and have talked to some people about your air systems. When i do my bags i will want to do the parallel 4 link rear and i believe cool ride front for it. Since i have no money now i will not be doing this for a while yet, my truck also has a very powerful/torquey engine in it. Will i damage the bags at all if i ever decide to drag race someone and will i have to put them at a certain pressue to do so. I realize that i will probably need a C-notch, what heights are available for the c-notches and will i need to cut my bed to install it. Will the big red air system for my truck go too fast and risk harming it or not. Since this will be primarily show/DD i dont want this too hit ground at a fast rate or fast enough to hurt it. How long will it take me to install these and since im a novice at this is there any numbers i can call to get help for doing this. One last thing is how much lower can i expect it to be right from the box and how how much welding is required for my truck...Thanks for everything

Drag racing will not damage you bags, there are several pro street cars and trucks out there with air suspension on them and race competitively. The BigRed valves will not hurt anything, they are not that fast. On that truck you could expect a 1-2 second rise time from the BigReds.
As far as C-Notching goes that will depend on how low you want to go, Beltech makes a bolt on notch. You will have bumpstops front and rear to keep from damaging your truck if something would happen.
The front kit is completely bolt on, the rear will require a bit of welding. You will have to weld the 4 link brackets to the frame and the rearend and also the lower airspring bracket. The front kit will lower the truck 5-6 inches, and the rear will depend on where you mount the airspring bracket and how big of a notch you have.
