Drop question for 60-66

How low can I go without notching the frame? I plan to run bags to get a nice ride and a good low stance when parked, but I'm not looking to lay frame. Don't really want the ride height to be ridiculously low either. Anyone have pictures of a 60-66 on bags at ride height?

Re: Drop question for 60-66

This truck belongs to a guy I work with. It isn't bagged but he has 6" lowering springs in the rear and 4" or drop up front. He doesn't have a c-notch. 6" is as low as you should go without c-notching.

Good luck, Rg
