    right now I got drop arms, balljoint flip spindles up front and monoleaf/overload with 3" block in back. my leaf shackles are about an 1 1/2 inches from the ground. over the summer ive really gotten into hot rods/ratrods. Not only the look but just how they use to do things back then before catalogs, bags and hydraulics. I was thinking of channeling or body dropping to at least get the cab flush with the bottom of the frame. wondering if any static drop guys thinking the same thing or already got it. I seen the thread with pics of a couple guys from the 80s and 90s but want to get some input from experience. Thanks

    also I seen minitruckin's weekend warrior channeled. but ive seen more body drops sf and traditional. pros and cons?

    was something to do back in the day for sure. my moms mini when i was little was body dropped on static. it willl just bring the look of the truck closer to the ground.

    pros: lower truck

    cons youll have to body the bed as well, depepnding on your notch situation you might have to cut the bed floor out and or raise it...

    pros: lower to the ground!!!!
