I have a 4" drop axle coming from Sid and will probably remove a couple leaves to take it down another 1" to 1-1/2". The doing an axle flip on the back and remove leaves until the running boards sit level to the ground at ride height.

I will be doing a 2" to 3" c notch to give myself more travel.

Your truck is awesome BTW.
