Re: how low will this put me

Re: how low will this put me
The problem with the trailing arms is that they hit the frame rails long before the frame hits the ground.Here's a pic of my set up with a 2 3/4" c notch and bag in place of spring.If you moved the bag say behind the axle,you could get 2-3" lower with a bigger notch,but unless you make a special notch to clear the trailing arm,you'll hit the frame.I guess it comes down to how bad you want to keep the arms how bad you want to plant your frame,and how much work you really want to do.
Here's the pics.The frame is about 6" off the ground aired down.
