Will you be able to drive the truck as it sits without rubbing the fronts? If you could do me a favor, measure the front and rear fender lips for me? Id like to see how far they sit off of the ground. Thats just the PERFECT stance that Im going for!

Right now the truck is pictured at full deflate, so it will rub, I plan on this eventually being the ride height but it will need the drop member, and some fab work in the rear to get it to drive this low. I will get some measurements for you.

Thanks I apreciate it! To get it this low it would just need the notch in the rear, what about the front, whats rubbing?

the tires on my truck are really just to big (31" overeall diameter) so you could get this low with a simple c-notch and spindles and bags, but due to the large tire size that i currently have, i had to raise the bed floor and take the front inner fenders out. I will either get smaller tires, or different wheels and tires all togther.

Man I love how those trucks look when the dropmember is installed and the rear is tucking like a champ.

The truck looks incredible as it sits, but if that's the way you like to drive it(I like mine at same stance while driving) I would finish cuttin cuz it gets realy bad when you sacrifice the inflation on the suspension for looks, cuz I had that problem with mine before I tore it apart to slam it.
