   Are you planning to just drop it outright, or use airbags to help you
to get over speed bumps and Colorado fire roads?

   If you wanted to get a little bit crazy, you could cover the
bottom of the truck in sheet metal; maybe use some dzus fasteners
or something to make the pieces easily removable? With the price
of metal only outpaced by the price of gas these days though, it
might take a little while to pay for itself...
