Brian...sounds like you have it all dialed in. You should be able to load your motorcycle in that slammed panel without the need for ramps. I am not sure that the average FTE guy in this particular forum would know about most of the equipment you have cited so I am not sure how much more meaningful input you will get. I was a project manager in a past life so I am a little more sensitive to "stated requirements" and "proposed solutions"...nothing in your requirements statement indicate that your panel be bagged. Lots of added complexity to meet an undefined requirement. Don't get me wrong, I love slammed vehicles and use bags on my 50 Merc coupe...but I know up front that laying frame is one of my requirements.
Good luck with your panel, I hope you have deep pockets!

Personal opinion is best question. Are you satisfied or would you have done different? Not dug deep into thread archives here but would really appreciate a thread if you made one or pictures to look thru for reference.

It is nice to be able to send the project of that magnitude out to be done. I had to work on my own and try and keep motivated along the way. I went with a 71 Camaro sub frame and added a 350 4 bolt main engine with a turbo 400 automatic. The rear end is a posi-traction 81 Trans Am, makes disc brakes all the way around. I work as a tool builder so I was able to make the brackets for the air bags and the four link rear end as well. Good luck on your build it sounds like its going to be a great truck.
