Re: Drop Shocks? How to tell
good advice, but like I said before that is not a two inch drop. I think the slope of the street is making it look less than it is.
so to prove it, I took a line through the center of the hubs as flat, and measured the angle of the rocker panel against it. I got 2.5 degrees. the wheelbase is 118" so tan 2.5*118 = amount of drop (in this case, actually how much higher the truck is at the rear wheel than the front, which is the same thing) and I get 5 inches of drop.
feel free to double check my math, pobodys nerfect. the point is a stock shock on THIS truck will get bottomed out and pounded to pieces with the 5" drop, even if we figure it is 1" lower in the front from stock, thats still a 4" drop.
