I've got 8" between the front fender and tire. 10" between the rear fender and tire. That's stock rear end and torsion bar bolts removed. But I also have no engine in right now, I'm not sure how much the engine will drop the front.

There is a lot the plays a role in that. What size tires you have could be different than mine. What's your distance from ground to fender?

From my experience removing the t-bar adjustment bolts, from stock ride height will net you about a 2-3" drop...from leveled to nothing is about5- 6"

I removed the LCA bumpstops for another 3/4" too

FWIW, when comparing vehicle to vehicle heights like this over the net, its better to measure center of hub to fender, than FTG height

Thanks I will remember that for now on. Wheels being larger is another aspect I didn't think about.

Jason, little aggravating to read how some take measurements from the ground to the fender....:rofl:
It's accurate to see how much higher or lower you have made your truck. But to compare to a different truck entirely wouldn't work. I realize that now. Some of us are not as smart as others. That's why we are here. :hug:

I am wanting to run 20x10 -12 offset with 3" shackle and overload off and stock keys with bolts out. Hopefully it doesn't rub.

It will but only because of the negative wheel offset.

With s 4/6 drop I did zero trimming and don't rub with 305/50/20's but they are +24. With the wheel spacers they are probably only +8 or so now

Tire size plays a big factor. Trimming will be required. This is dbag exact set up with a 285/55/20 toyo at2 ten ply tire.

Can someone snap a picture of their rear axle block setup on their lowered truck? I need to know which blocks to remove. Mine has 2 blocks. Idk if I need to take out both or one. Thanks

If your truck has any blocks period pull them out. Stock trucks done have blocks.

Yea you'll need new u bolts
