Re: guess how much i am lowered!
How is it lowered. I was just guessing, but it would help to know what was used to lower it.

Re: guess how much i am lowered!
I wouldn't go lower than 5/7 with a staticly dropped truck. Depending on how low you want to go, you might just opt for bags.

Re: guess how much i am lowered!
my truck was lowered and the front cross member is about 3 to 4 inches from the ground. haven't drove it yet but i think the ride going to suck. he cut for some reason on the passenger side inner fender. with the way i drive it going to be and crappy ride lol won't know till i get it on the road but i think it's been lowered like 6 in the front and about 8 in the rear.
mind this is a old pic but you can see approx how low it is by looking at were the fender sits on the tire. also those are stock ralley's on it too

Re: guess how much i am lowered!
I have around a 6-7 I like how it looks, except some roads don't like it and I barley can drive up my driveway without scraping the frame, and when I turn sharp my inner fenders sit on top of the tires and that's with a less than 27" tall tire

Re: guess how much i am lowered!
I'm running about 5.5 in the front and 8 in the rear. It has 2.5" spindles, 2 inch eibach springs with about 3/4 of a coil cut out. rides and handles good. 27" tall tires rub top of the inner fender if you hit a good dip in the road. I'd say that pick at the top of the thread is a 4-6

Re: guess how much i am lowered!
oh yeah, I forgot also the top of tires rub on big bumps, I'm glad I removed every thing off the top of the inner fenders
