I highly doubt you're going to rub unless it has settled after the above pics. If you do it will be the result of a huge "dip" or pot hole. Or from a sharp ton with body roll.

Shocks could play a role if they are too soft especially with a soft spring.

Ohh that helps. Clear housings will look good on it. Their cheap on ebay. I believe that's what most people use or you can clear the stock ones.

thanks!

i'm pleased with it have a few hundred miles on it only rubbed twice and that was pulling in a parking lot with a pretty good incline fairly fast and it was very minor contact

 

[CammedVmax]

Anybody know the part numbers for the belltech SP's for a 4/7 drop? The 4wd ones.

What would you guys think if your friend wanted to drop his truck with only 4 inch drop coils in the front and a flip kit in the back?

 

[Jared]

I wouldn't think, I would act

i would slap him

 

[Fred 4/6]

Just making sure! He's fuckin dumb but idk if I should say something or just let him be.

 

[stroker87]

would that even be safe? would the spring stay put?
