Re: ground clearance?

I don't have a number for you, but I have a picture. Mine is roughly a 5" drop with springs and stepped LCAs.

Heh. I guess the maniac answered but I'm from the 4x4 world. 24" drop up, not down

Re: ground clearance?

Typicaly the lowest point is the sheetmetal control arm and/or a factory sway bar bracket. CPP has short sway bar brackets. The CPP tubular control arm has so much ground clearance the lowest point is the U-bolt on the lower arm shaft, then the crossmember.

Dunno yet, truck isn't roadworthy yet. But I don't really expect any.
