Re: How low can you go ??
Another example for reference. The front never rubs or bottoms out, plenty of travel and ground/tire clearance. No issues at at. The rear needs a c notch at this height; with trimmed bump stops the axle is only about 1.75" off the frame rail so bump travel is limited. I don't want to chop up the truck so I've tolerated the rear occasionally bottoming out on the bump stop. I used firmer rear shocks to slow down bump travel when empty, but when loaded with the camper shell or trailer it actually rides really well except over really big bumps. I'm looking into adjustable shocks to dial back the damping when it's empty.
Front- CPP drop spindle/disc brake kit. 1 coil cut off stock springs. Bump stop brackets completely cut off. Stock drum brake wheels with 1.5" bolt on spacer. 215/75r15 tires. Rear- D2600 bags bolted directly to trailing arms, short upper cup to clear the air fittings. 1.5" drop blocks. FrizzleFry's method of shock relocation. Trimmed bump stops. 15x8 wheels. 235/75r15 tires.
