Re: Lowering Help

my truck was dropped 3 in the front and 4 in the rear with long tube headers the only thing they touch on is high speedbumps(not your average im talking high) and really angled driveways .. never on the flat road though.. hope this helps

Re: Lowering Help

Im running a 3.5/5 drop with no major issues. I have scraped on some big speed bumps, but that's it. No problems at all on regular roads. Potholes are no issue either.



Believe me. You will have no problems on East TN roads even as bad as they are.
