Re: Raising Cab and Cab Mounts

how tall are your (steel) cab mounts right now? how much did you cut down the core support (how tall is it measured top to cut)?

can you lower the core support?

I see a lot of new guys mount their cabs too low (not you, saying in general) because they want that earthworm stance, but in my admittedly dim opinion thaat just creates a lot of work to trim out the floor of the cab and bed for room and leaves no room for a radiator. my rear mounts are about 4.5" tall with bushing and that gives a very small trans tunnel and lots of room up front for activities, only raises the bed floor 1.5" and you can make that 1" if you use the stock s10 floor. after that, 2" spindles, 2" coils, 4" leafs and a 2" block absolutely POUND the truck, like its almost nerve wracking to drive because its so low, best of both worlds.
