Minimum ride height would be 2-2½ inches above stock.

Thanks for making the inquiry! I think when the time comes, I may drag my rolling chassis to their shop in Colorado, have them do the fabrication and install, then bring it home and put the truck back together myself.

I think coil overs in the front with the trailing arms in the rear, Eaton e-locker in the front and a true-track in the rear on 33's or 35's would make for a nice road trip rig that can still handle beach/dirt/snow/mud trails to get to some good camp spots.
