laying frame
i have a 85 gmc and was wondering if the body would hit the ground before the frame i was looking under the truck and it looked to me that that would happen but not sure so i thought this would be the place to ask. thanks

Re: laying frame

Re: laying frame
Your first point of contact is pictured below. You have to eliminate that issue before you can go any lower.

Re: laying frame
once you get the front crossmember out of the way, and all the other junk, the frame itself is still about an inch lower than the rockers.

Re: laying frame
