Lowest I can go with out notch

[Jeremygmc5]

Hey guys I lowered my 2018 sle double cab 4x4 5/7 and the rear end hits the frame. Anybody else have experience with how low I can go with out the rear hitting I do not want to c notch the truck

I think I recall 5 inches being the most you would want to go, but I could be wrong. I know a few guys on here are running lowered rigs, but I think they are running 5'' with helper bags.

 

I think 1slow1500 is running a drop. He may know.

 

This may help?

Notes: Works w/ C-Notch - Must have flip kit w/ 6" or 7" Rear Drop Only

5 is listed as safe 6 has been done. I would notch.

I bought my truck from a local dealership, lowering kit was already installed. It's running a Beltech 4/6 drop (rear leaf is flipped). Seems to be okay. It's a 4x4 but no problems within the last few months. Note I did have the front struts disassembled and raised them an inch due to this being a daily, and winter driving.

 

Before I raised the front end, tires are 265/65R18

 

After I raised the front end, new tires are 285/60R18

So, the bottom picture after the front has been raised...is that 3/6? The drop and truck both look great.

Basically yeah. I don't have any before measurements, so it should be 3/6 now
