You are looking at 2 1/2- 3 " of drop,with 1 ring off the bottom......my longhorn has run that way for 10-12 yrs, with no issues

I have fabbed shock relocators, & run stock shocks both front & rear. the rear is an axle flip (leaf spring), & relocated spring hangers to set the height. Also a few tossed leafs(she runs a 4 leaf stack). I call it "loosely"a 3/5 drop.....+ 1 1/2" of body drop.Yea, its low enough to hear the same ? asked all the time......"How low IS that truck?" The sweet part is on a real budget drop(lots of work, but little cash), she rides & handles nice.....& NOTHING scrapes on the pavement
