laying engine crossmember in front and frame/hitch in the back.

Pretty much done for now: Except need to refit my front tub(rub at full lock) and passanger brake line. then bridge cover and it's done.

For those who want to know:
MMW front complete package
Belltech drop spindle
MMW notch/bridge, 4link, watts link.
SS7 front, SS8 over axle for the rear.

Short term futur mod: Shelby hood scoop, lower bumper grill. side skirt
I have all of those, waiting side skirt to be painted and time to install all of this.

8,75 in the back (toping out the shock (might change them to have 9,75))
7 in the front (upper hitting shock mount..I screw up a bit on this one)

my ride height is 5" in front and 7 in back (which is the same as a 3/5 drop)..top of the tire flush to the fender (32'' from ground to fender)

have you considered helper bags opposed to cutting the frame?

Yes I have but after having 2 other trucks with helpers the ride of the stock suspension in my opinion is better than that of the ride with the helper bags. Most are not a fan of a c notch but when done properly I believe they are perfect for what I use them for. this is the only truck I have owned that is not bagged or static dropped to an almost undrivable height
(never thought I would own something this nice) . so I may try the helper bags but I am leaning towards a c notch.
