How much clearance do you have on your control arms to the ground?

I will measure and take a pic for you. But I drove it today no issues and over speed bumps in my subdivision with no issue.

The lowest point on LCA sits 2.75" from ground. I have not had issues with hitting ground.

Man I wish I could go that low. We have too many dips in the roads around here. I was planning on bags this summer but gonna have to wait awhile.

Man we got dip pot holes uneven lanes those little spots that are right before bridges or overpasses that jar the hell out of you. But these monotube shocks make a world of difference with all that now. I don't remember what setup I had I have had so many but with a twin tube shock I was smacking my long tubes when I had them I don't have them cause they would be dragging the ground just sitting. These monotube make a world of difference IMO being this low static a monotube is a must have.

RodsGreen10 · 05-23-2016, 05:38 AM

More pics. My wife's wasn't BSing me she took about 300 pics lol.

RodsGreen10 · 05-23-2016, 08:44 AM

So this morning before work the WSWR was on my mind about rubbing the back side. I could possibly just let it rub off what it needs but that would be half azz lazy. So with the precise measurement with my fingers lol I should be able to move it forward towards the grille and use the original bolt hole and the drill and use a clip. And it will move it out of the way of the wheel touching it in a hard right hand turn. We will see this evening.

RodsGreen10 · 05-23-2016, 08:51 AM

Also want to add on my response to UKNOWME. That the PB upper and Lower control arms are the key ingredient getting that low in the front. The 1" narrow and 1" forward is what I am using. If not for the PB control arms it wouldn't be possible.

UKNOWME · 05-24-2016, 02:39 PM

Great! Ordered a set today.

And another look of interior trim. The dash bezel. Guys it just keeps getting better and better. I am really excited about this new interior!!!

RodsGreen10 · 05-24-2016, 03:53 PM

Also would like to add. Truck sitting this low has never handled so good and tight. Really sporty feeling. Steering is nice and sensitive. I was running up the interstate today just moving along. And could see the wind down force on top of hood lol.

UKNOWME · 05-24-2016, 03:57 PM

Are you running front and rear sway bars?

Funny you mention Swaybar. The answer is no on the rear. But I have a PB/Addco Swaybar here at the house that won't fit. Due to the angle of the lower tabs on the LCA. Because I am so low. So spoke with Nate which is a top notch guy he said they are about to release the official PB Swaybar one they make in house. So he had me take some angle measurements so he could verify it would work. So I am waiting on that Swaybar. If it won't work then I will be sending this Addco crap back and getting a c notch.

UKNOWME · 05-24-2016, 04:06 PM

I have a front and rear Belltech kit. Wonder if it'll work. I doubt I'll ever be as low as yours but at least another couple inches in the front.

The rear will work. But not the front. If you get the PB control arms you have to buy PB swaybar. Or you don't run one at all. We all want just a couple more inches right lmao!!

RodsGreen10 · 05-24-2016, 05:53 PM

Hey UKNOWME. Did you ever get your grille figured out? If not I might have a option for you.

RodsGreen10 · 05-24-2016, 07:22 PM

And I will be grippin tha grain haha... The middle section is support for the process just in case you don't know. Cause I sent this pic to a couple of buddies and they started freaking out.
