i know , im doing a 4 in body drop but loosing 1 inch of it in my bed mounts, that puts my rockers down but the inside of my bed wont be all chopped up inside. plus the ls engines always look very low in these trucks im hoping that the body drop will help that. i will say im worried where my shifter will end up.(heightwise). you are correct on your observations ,im impressed. bill
