Question 3/5" drop --Want to go LOWER.

I currently have a DJM 3/5 drop on 99xlt supercab with coils,hangers and shackles.
How much lower can I go without doing anything to the truck that is not 100% reversible? Just bolt on stuff. I also have the 2nd gen L wheels and tires, I would like to keep them on the truck as well.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have a 98 ext. cab. And I installed
a 4/6 drop on it myself. YOU DO NOT NEED
A C-NOTCH ON THE REAR UNLESS YOU GO LOWER THAN 6" IN THE REAR!!!!!!!! I have had
no problems with bottoming out.

FRONT = I replaced the lower A-arms & coils

REAR = flip kit on back w/no c-notch!!


SHOCKS = Belltech Nitro-drop shocks

These were before I went another inch in the rear. I have 2" A-arms 2" springs with 1" coil cut....Western Chassis 2" hangers, 2" adjustable bracket and 3" de-arched leafs.
I may actually be closer to 5/7 than 4/6. I hit the frame terribly until I trimmed the lip of the frame a little (still hit but not as bad, need to notch it)

I have Ground Force shocks and it rides great(except for bottoming out every now and again...notch will fix that though) Handles good too, but will do better once I can get some 18" wheels on her.
