    So had many of the customtacos.com fellow members came over and did some awesome work to dropped/slammed my truck on the ground. What a complete different look!! I dont know the exact drop but the truck's fender lip all the way around measures 2ft from the ground!!!:meemee:

    Awesome - glad to hear the CT guys helped you out. :waytogo:

    I assume you cranked the torsions down in the front and took out a leaf in the back?

    Yes cranked the torsion bars and now have 4" blocks with monoleaf. I decided to cut the two leafs which dumped the truck another 2"in the rear.
