your right
well i relly just wanted to post the pics. I still got to move the front 8" of the fram down 3" the wood floor is out also and the big block and tranny will set the front down. I think im going to end up with about 5" of clearance and 8" in the back. so if there is to much rake a may notch the fram at the upper rear coil spring pocket to drop the rear 2 more just depends what that heavy wood floor does. as for the tranny tunnel it comes from jegs flat i had to put it together and shape it, trim it etc. oh by the way i was not dum enought to pay 90.00 for it ether i gave 25.00 to a friend for it.

body drop
well if you have a wood floor you can remove it and filp the support rails to the top and use longer screws this will giv you 3" in the bed. the front of the frame right between the gear box and core support brackets needs to be cut and lowered 3" ( of chorse both sides) this will bring your whole front down 3" . the only dificult part is the cab. I removed the front cab supports and had new ones bent out of 12 gauge steel. this lowered the front of the cab 2 inches now all you have to do is cut the cab mounts off the frame and move the back ones down 3" the front ones down 1" you will have to cut the top off the front ones to move them down. i also welded some 1" tubing to the bottom of the bracket and to the frame becuas the brackets will hang abot 1" lower than the frame. you probably figured before you do all that you have to cut the floor out of the cab. its not as drastic as u think though the front of the floor came up 2.5" and the back only 1.5" that will give you 1/2" clearance over the frame rales. you will have to fab a small tunnel to clear the drive shaft loop not hard you could use original floor i used aluminum tunnel caus it was light and cheep. here is a pic of a new front cab support
