as for the bags, i said it depends. you would be correct, 8-12" would probably be plenty, and the firewall is probably tubbed so when it is lowered they don't rub.

trust me, i know a thing or two about cars.
Think of it like this. Set a 2' square box on two 2' long 4x4s. Now cut the bottom square of the bot off, set the rest over the 4x4s. Now, slide the bottom back into the box so that its resting on top of the 4x4s and reattach it. Thats how a stock floor body drop works.

And (not to start anything), if you know a lot about cars, how could you say that the frame doesn't stick out on most of them?

Custom trucks are in my blood, so I'm very apt to defend/explain them when people misunderstand certain things
