nice looking drop, sitting on the bumpstops? are you using an off the shelf frame notch or a custom made one?

I saw a Blazer that had the frame literally sitting on the ground... I didn't have a camera to take any pictures unfortunatly, but it was much lower than that truck is...

I can assure you if it was layed out on the frame, it had the bed (body) cut. It takes a lot more to lay a Blazer on the ground than a truck

Thanks, picture #2 is with the truck layed out.

Yes, it is on the bumpstops at that point. I had it set up where it will rest on the stops and still roll. It could be about an inch lower, but it would not roll.

No, the notch is not "off the shelf" or bolt in. It was custom made by Roger at Stoked Out Specialties Here is a pic...

yes, not REAL low with stock floor. Specially if you have abigger sidewall like I found out. I had to cut out the floor clear across so the whole REAREND can come up into the bed!! Axle tubes and all.
