how low can you go before your rearend hits the floor

just wondering on a 2wd blazer how low can you go in the back with a notch before the pumpkin hits the bed floor. im just wondering because my blazer is in the shop so i just can go look at it but it has a flip kit in the back and the rearend sits on the frame. I have a mini bolt in notch that im going to install that will give it 2.5 inches of clearance and i didnt know if the rearend would hit the floor before the frame

Re: how low can you go before your rearend hits the floor

the wheels are on the truck and i did notice the gas tank issue my frame sits on the axle tube right now and i have about 2 inches before the rear end hits the floor. so i cant really go any lower. its crazy my blazers body is only like 2 inches higher than my dually and my dually lays frame. these 1/2 tons can get so low without bottoming out.
