Re: how low is?

3/5 I think would do it, or 4/6. Or you could bag it and CRUSH the cans!

Get skinnier wheels or wheels spacers.

Re: how low is?

Yes. Spacers will push your wheels OUT.

Most guys will either ditch the inner fenders (NOT recommended) or modify them for more clearance. Do a search on "inner fender) and you should find some pretty good stuff to read to get ya started.

Good Luck!

Re: how low is?

Where do you want this soda can to be sitting under your truck ???

Cuz the bumpers are higher than your rockers & your rockers are higher than your frame

If you want your bumper at soda can height, you can forget about it unless you do major frame mods

Re: how low is?

Well I still dont think that is all that reasonable for springs & a un modified frame

Without measuring a coke can, I would guess that one is about 4" tall

I have bags with a modified front suspension & a Z'd rear & it DUMPS at about 3-1/2" to the rocker
