Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
Who has the lowest static drop? It can be bolt on,body drop or anything else just as long as it's static. Shortest distance between the rocker and the ground.

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
Just bars no bumpstops right before Portebuilt swap. I would tell all to keep the bars. Cost to rebuild now less than when I got the new on the sceen PB. For 60-62 frame.

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
I don't have measurements but I'm running 5.5/7 drop on 275/40r18 tires. It looks like the rocker is around 8-10" off the ground going off of the sidewall height of the tire

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
I'm running a CPP Grand Slam kit and a 2" block in the rear. Lowest part of my rocker is at 6" off the ground. Bottom of control arms are a different story lol..... 2.5"

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
I had about 1.5" before the front tire would hit the inner fender. Had to take one of the inner fender bolts out to keep it from shredding the tire.

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
And that is the weak spot for lowering unless you can modify the front fender area.

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
When I bought my truck the front crossmember was about 2 inches from the ground.

Re: Lowest static drop, Who has it ?
So if you slam the truck, the front inner fender is what hits first?
How is the clearance on the rear with a 5-7" drop in rear?

I never had any rear clearance isssues at a 6-7" drop in the rear with a small pipe notch. Lower than that, the pumpkin hits the bed floor before the axle tubes hit the frame (with a notch), so at that point you'll need to raise the bed floor and do a step notch.
