How Much To Bodydrop
 
I remember hearing that you can move the body mounts down without having to mess with the floor. How much can I get out of this, and will it be able to lay pinch, or better yet rocker. Planning for this during the summer and figured I would start looking into it now while I'm still at school and have some time to plan.

Thanks!

Can you do it by just having smaller bushings. Almost like a body lift in reverse. I don't know just throwing out ideas.

Im interested in this also. Was wondering if there is a bushing that can be used to drop it down..

Good to know. For some reason I had 1.5" in my head too, but couldn't remember. Good to know an inch'll do it, as Fnlow your truck is one of my favorites. That's not a big deal about messing with the seams. We just finished traditional bodydropping a mazda and my truck's next on the list for my friends and I.
Thanks for the answers, most definitely helps.

I think the 1.5" sounds like what I remember too. As far as laying pinch, we need more details on what else you are doing to lower it.

I think i did mine about an inch (71) and it lays rocker with the bottom lip shaved off.

My bad. Its got a z'd front end 2" and then getting a back half w/ 4 link this summer as well. And ofcourse its on bags, running firestone 2500's in the front and 2600's in the rear.
