Re: How low can you go, and still haul?

Thing is, an inch lower would look better, in my opinion ( which is the only opinion that matters, when it comes to my truck). However, I refuse to have a truck that can't haul.

Anyone use 3" drop springs in the rear and haul significant amounts of weight?

If I go an inch lower, will air bags become nesecary?

Random thoughts streaming through my head.

What year truck? Leafs or coils in the back?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
