I agree with Fleetside Larry. However, since the trailing arms mount to the crossmember, which is at frame level, the only way the wheel moves forward, on a truck dropped lower than stock, is if the trailing arms swings above the frame. That is indeed extreme, much more extreme than the drop shown in the photo by 62 Bowtie.
