Plus, w/it being aggressively lowered, the actual GV sump would be near mid-cab which is around the most vulnerable spot in the length of the truck. When your ~5" off the ground w/a ~20' frame length, that's an expensive ouch if it tags anything.

For the cost of each, I'd do a 4l80e in a CC lowered dually.
Haha, well when you put it that way, I agree with you 100%!
