    Alright so I'm planning to body drop my truck and this will be my first time doing this and I'm not sure which way I wanna go it's either traditional or stockfloor. I don't want my truck to be down getting worked on forever. I'm 6'3" but I have an ex cab so it shouldn't be bad with an ex cab (had a 3.5" bd on a Mazda reg cab fit fine) I just wanna get some opinions on which is easier and faster

    Well its about 2.5" so I kinda think traditonal ain't that bad. Just a lot of fab work really but its not too intense

    i say go stockfloor!

    either one is a lot of work, but the interior looks so much better without the big lip. especially at shows where you have to have a door open lol
