    can u tuck rims with just a static drop using drop arms and torsions also without cutting the inner fender wells. and for the back 4" block w/ middle leaf remove or drop leafs w/ a smaller block & a lil notch.. when I say tuck rim meaning u can't see too much tire.. is this possible??

    what size wheels?

    17 or 18s you will need to cut out the front wells.

    rear, deffinately a notch, pull the middle leaves and a 3" block. it would be a lot better if u just went with a monoleaf, 4" block and airshocks. total cost would be less than a 100. just drop ur torsions thats it.

    hmmn right know I got 15" on but planning on getting 17's down the line. my rear is middle leaf off wit a 3" block. whats wrong with just changing to a 4", I know the ride is gonna be crappy but I got an extra set of blocks.

    just slam the **** out of it on 15's. 2'' drop spindles in the front and loosen the torsions about 3''. the rear pull the middle, add a 3'' block and notch the frame! then get some nice shocks on all four corners. like some gas a-justs. that will get you ridding nice and low and still have a decent ride

    I have 195/75/14's on my truck with 3" arm drop and 1.3" torsion drop and only have 1.5" between my tire and where my tire DOES scrape the inner fender. Smallest bump and the front driver hits the inner in 3 spots.

    4" blocks with mono leaf and you will for sure need a notch. I have 4" in the back on stock packs, and I have probably 2.5" between axle and frame. Mono leaf drops the truck 1-1.5" so a 5-5.5" drop in the back and you'd be smackin frame.

    And you may tuck a little tire. I tuck about 5/8" in front, and rear is around dead even with fender or 1/4". My fenders are 24.5" off the ground all the way around.

    mono leafing gives you way more than a 1''-1.5'' drop! doesnt it? doesnt pulling the middle leaf drop you 3''?

    If you tuck the fronts like that, you are liable to cut the tires pretty good.

    Notching is a good way to go, it will get rid of the hitting the bumpstop/frame-rail situation and let you prepare for bags. Ditch the stock LSV brake controller for a wilwood proportioning valve.
    And I haven't had any problems with my Toxic shocks, they are made by Pro Comp and mounted in the original postions.
