Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?

When I bought my truck the front crossmember was about 2 inches from the ground.

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?

So if you slam the truck, the front inner fender is what hits first?

How is the clearance on the rear with a 5-7" drop in rear?

Depends on tire size. You can run a super short tire and have the crossmember bottom out before the inner fender. It'll look silly with that short of a tire though.

I never had any rear clearance isssues at a 6-7" drop in the rear with a small pipe notch. Lower than that, the pumpkin hits the bed floor before the axle tubes hit the frame (with a notch), so at that point you'll need to raise the bed floor and do a step notch.
