Re: low as possible

was originally approx 7-9 3" spindles 2 loops cut off the springs, back is flipped with belltech shackle and hanger kit. the long tubes on it are the biggest issue. and with 235/75/15 it rubbed the inners and threw sparks the entire 2 mile drive home. paint cap is 2" tall

Re: low as possible

its 6 inch drop up front and a flip kit in the rear. i might go an inch lower in the rear tho. this is when i first pulled it out of my garage the springs are now broken in and it tucks about half the tire up front. i have about half a pop can of clearance before my control arms hit the ground. its my daily driver and i love it

Re: low as possible

IV. Pure trolling, either to upset someone or simply for your personal
enjoyment, is strictly prohibited. If you're here to cause trouble, it will be a very short stay. Immediate BAN and you will be reported to your ISP.

XIII. If you are a long time member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather then attacking them. We look upon our veteran members to use this opportunity to teach the newer members the appropriate message board usage.

Re: low as possible

^^^^That wasn't very nice. Constructive criticism I can deal with, however there was nothing constructive about that. I get it, you prefer a short bed, but there are alot of people here such as myself that prefer a longbed and we are all here because we share the same love for these trucks, long, short, narrow, or wide. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you have to audibly voice your opinion, or talk bad about them. In conclusion there was nothing helpful about your post as it does not contain anything that is remotely related to the thread that the op started.

Re: low as possible

I for one like LWB trucks while some like SWB trucks. Lets support both. Thanks

Re: low as possible

The '87 has 6/8 and it was my DD for years. You just learn the roads around you a lot better.
