    The front will get kinda bumpy because of less travel in the front, trimming or removing your bumpstops will give you some travel back, same goes for the back..

    What Toxic said^ i was running 3" blockes with adjusted torsions to match...if u leave the bumpstops its gonna be shotty! But if u remove um it will be cheryy, just a little soft. Just avoid potholes and such haha

    Also if you drop the rear too much you'll have to notch the crossmember right after the cab as the driveshaft will rub on it. You might wanna measure for clearence before you start.

    Well I went ahead with it and everything came out juust Fine n easy
    The front end is kinda bumpy but im sure some new shocks would help it out
    Nothing to throw a hissy fit over
    As for the rear shaving the bumpstops helped out no doubt

    Thanks for the heads up guys
