I'm really not at ride height in those pics in the pic that is the lowest the coilovers will go. I will raise it about an inch I hope I can get away with 1/2 an inch to give it more of a rake. I really notched the frame just in case I decide to bag it later on. I really did not have to notch it. As it sits now the center of the rearend will not hit the bed wood. I will measure where it sits now and post it for you.

just make sure you put a adjustable bump stop in the c-notch then you can adjust it after if its too close.

Man I'm sorry I went home yesterday and got started working on my mini tubs and forgot to get the measurement for you. I'll get the measure for you this weekend.

Re: anyone running ifs wth 4 link no bags just coilovers

Your welcome man that's why we are here to help each other out. Thanks for the comments on my truck and keep us posted on your build.

Remember that measurement is with my coilovers mounted on the bottom hole and all the tension out of the coils and it needs to come up about an inch to have a nice rake.

My truck is adjustable in the front also ( I have coilovers) plus wheel size will make a difference. I will tell you what I have in the front. I have a Mustang 2, drop spindles, coilovers. My wheel size is 18's with 235/40/18 tires that will be changed to 225/45/18 tires. My cross member is at 4 inches from the ground right now I will measure the front of the frame to the ground when I get home and post that info for you.

Hey man,

I did not forget, I just did not have time to make it to the garage lately. Anyway, the front of my frame at ride height is 7 3/8 from the ground. My mustang 2 crossmember is about 4 inches from the ground.
