They did say that if you run 15" wheels you might not be able to adjust the coilovers to their lowest setting. All this had me worried I wouldn't reach the drop I wanted so I decided I will raise the front rails, if at the very least I don't have to run the coilovers all the way down. I am going to Z the frame right at the firewall. I am already dropping the horns 1" for the body drop, so what's one more inch there as well. In the rear I am still doing the 4.5" raised rails like I did on Bluey, so this frame is going to be down (bumper), up (front suspension), down (cab), up (rear suspension), down (bumper), all with a body drop for an extra 1" overall!
looking forward to see the progress .... first we need to stay warm
