Well the ride height on this frame is 8". That is from the ground to the frame and it is about 6 5/8" - 6 3/4" from the ground to the pinch welds on the rockers. Well i am not sure exactly what route i am going to go with the frame because there are a few things i would like to change so i decided just to wait till i get more money and finish mocking up the truck and then after everything is mocked up and done then I can justify changing the frame. That way i will be aware of everything first and how i want everything ran (wires, fuel lines and so on).
I am not sure how it will compare in regards to the total weight. I am hoping it will come in around the low 3k range but that is just a guess. The front suspension is definately noticably lighter that stock setup. I wish i had a large scale because i have another setup that uses air ride tech strong arms, stock spindles and it is really heavy compared to the C5 stuff. I was going to run the exhaust underneath the torque tube and then I was hoping to continue the exhaust out the back but it there isn't enough room I was either going to bring them out with a side mount in the bed. We will see though.
