Re: ??drop??

Looks like maybe 4 or 5 in back, and 2-3 in front? Hard to tell. What size are the tires?

Nice truck by the way. I dig the color.

That's just about a 5" drop all around.

I'd say 3.5 in front and 5 in the back, that's my guess.

Re: ??drop??

off topic but has your bed been partially shortened. It looks like your bed has been shortened in front of the wheel wells and not shortened behind the wheels. Are you on a short WB, long WB or shortened long WB frame?
