I've got some pics of my old fleetside but I think you are probably looking for dually pics right? I think pigrig is lowered with hangers, shackles and overload removed. Might check under his user name

Do you think you would be able to clear those tires in front with a full 6" of drop?

nope I dont have a picture of it lowered on stock wheels. I'm running 265/35/22's witch are about 29.5 inches tall and the ones I had on stock rims were about 30" tall
hope that helps

just thought if you look at this other one of mine its got 225/70/16(I'm thinking) and a 4" drop in the front



hey I think I lied I know its a bad picture but I think it was taken after I got the great Idea to cut a coil off the 1"drop spring

thanks for the pics i now have a bit better idea of what to look forward to.

Also how many coils would be ok to cut out of stock springs? i have read 1,1 1/2 and 2 inch.i was thinking maby 1 1/2 to go with my drop spindals?

[pig rig]

I'd start with one
