Pm vicalma03. He body dropped both my truck and his. The trans tunnel will have to be raised,and the back of the cab may have to be notched depending on how low you're going to go. My truck is bagged, but his is static with a 4l80e without any issues. Like stated above, if your going to run a truck intake, you will need to notch the top of the firewall to clear.

I think it would be to much work and you wouldn't be happy with the end result. The bed has to modified, the cab mounts need to be lowered, trans tunnel needs to be reworked for clearance issues, frame horns need to be cut off and lowered and the list goes on. If your doing all this to hide the frame just go with SS clading.. You will get the same result with less work and it will look good too..
