I measured 33" in rear with 4" drop shackles and 30.5 in front with Eibach springs. I plan on dropping the rear the same way you did. Your truck looks nice with those wheels!

I am just looking into lowering my truck, I am wondering has anyone had a problem with the drive shaft hitting the rear crossmember under torque or acceleration? or during daily driving for that matter???

I'm not dropped, I' scrapping.

In the back I have 2" drop Shackles, Western Chassis Hangers and a small C-Notch. The front consist of Western Chassis Drop A-Arms and a 1" drop coil. I am lower than most people with a 3/4 drop.

She's low on stockers.
