Iv seen bodies as high as 6" off s10 frame with a bag setup, but lotta notch and lower control arms and camber start factoring in. So since I initially set the truck up around 4" off frame, maybe 3.5" can't remember, the more notch in rear and or axle bridge etc makes for way less bed depth.
I'd like to be able to tow, so notching is a bit hairy to me. Looks like sleeves it is for the rear
