Re: how low in a 72 longbed?

Lowered a lot in the back. This is at least 9" down from stock. Fender lip is at 23.5" I believe. No driveline vibration at all at this height. Longbed. Two piece shaft and stock carrier bearing. Worst case you just raise the whole bearing UP about an inch or so depending on your drop. Just make a spacer block from some box tubing. Easy fix. Cheaper than buying shims.
