With Dropmembers and 3" spindles on the old truck and the frame planted on the ground there was 1 1/4" to the pinch weld. With the truck on our drive on rack aired out i had an extra 1 1/4" of drop below "ground zero"...so if you did cut the same amount off the bottom of the frame (i wouldn't) you would lay pinch. I was on a 29.1" front and 29.9 rear tire, if you ran a shorter tire you would be lower....but do you need to be?
