Thanks for your time. Also you have two packages headed your way

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but one huge advantage of using an IRS like this C4 is the fact that the driveshaft stays stationary as the suspension goes through its travel. One huge obstacle when putting any vehicle on the ground (when they are equipped with a straight axle) is having to clearance everything for the driveshaft.
And Kevin, the step in the framerails are LESS with the C4 than a straight axle (by at least 4"), minimizing the amount the floor will have to be raised. You were right the whole time !
