Just wondering where the line might be. Right now I'm a roller at stock height. This truck is getting completely stripped, just trying to figure how much I want to do while it's apart.
I'm just shooting for a 5 1/2"-6" front drop and an 8" rear drop for now. I'll see what it all looks like when it is put back together and adjust from there. I know I'm safe at the 6/8 range.
