how far yall got your 4wd closer to the ground..? i drive my truck daily, but i wanna go lower and be diffrent than everybody that lifts em (given that the new body style (06) looks sexy lifted) i know flip kit and 2" springs in the front, possibly like 2" drop blocks in rear as well...

I would think that the front halfshafts could be of some resistance... I know that they are made to a specific length and can be slid OUT when lifting the truck a little. Too much and you need longer halfshafts. They may not move INWARD enough into the hub to make the suspension bolt up correctly. Am I thinking wrong?

BTW: If this is your thing, go for it. Check out this monstrosity.
