bed floor clearance
I have lowered my truck 5.5/7, it looks like i'm going to have issues with the rear end hitting the bed floor. How much room do I need between the top of the rear end and the bed floor?

Re: bed floor clearance
Ideally about 2" minimum.
You going to raise the floor?

Re: bed floor clearance
My old black truck was 8" out back of drop and the rear never touched the floor...

Re: bed floor clearance
How big of notch do you have? If you have a standard C-notch, are you running bump stops? I have the button style stops in my C-notch and the pumpkin is 1.5-1.3/4" from the bed floor.
