LOl, yeah the bumper was bolted on and all the air in the bags was let out.
We lowered the front bumper about 3/8" because I didnt like how high it sat above the apron. If I lose a bag and have a flat tire, I am up the creek for sure as my crossmember is almost on the ground (1/4").
Once i can purchase and install the 71' C-10 crossmember from Porterbuilt customs I can better manage the height and the ride quality as I beleive it is lowered 2" from stock and I can raise my bags which will allow me to be as low but better travel in A arms with out the worries of hitting the ground.
