Re: How low is too low? (Static Drop)

I'm with everyone that it looks great at that stance...but I'm also with the guys below. I don't know anyone personally that's had this happen, but I've seen the devastation that happens from online pics when an arm catches a man hole cover/ridge in the road and it would worry me too much to drive it. Not only for the sake of the truck being totalled, but also for my own safety and my passengers...
