Re: ~Project~ Trickity Tree Twenty Sven

Thats weird because technically I was 1.5'' higher then you as far as components go on my last truck. However I was nowhere near how low you sit now. How much did the 327 drop you?

I think my current setup (2/3 on top of ZQ8) is perfect for daily driving in MN year round. Even now I have to be careful where I drive but its not bad.

You sir are crazy low for a static truck... And I love it!

Re: ~Project~ Trickity Tree Twenty Sven

According to my measurements before and after I only dropped a 1/4"

But I'm now on my bumpstops upfront. Before I was a 1/4" - 1/2" away from being on those.

Funny thing is, it rides just as good as it did before

Frame measurement with 2.2: 3 1/2" of clearance
Frame measurement with 327: 3 1/4" of clearance

Re: ~Project~ Trickity Tree Twenty Sven

Well, those where the measurements off the side of my frame under the cab. The height of the skid plate I have no idea. But I'd say it's fairly awesome

Re: ~Project~ Trickity Tree Twenty Sven

I just read through this entire thread from start to finish. I gotta say that I really expected a happy ending. I'd be willing to bet that if you stick with the bastard whore 327 that she will reward you for years to come once she is complete.

That has to be extreemly depressing to go through all of that shit and have a mysterious oil leak and knock.

Anyhow good luck with your project, I hope you get everything straightened out because you have put forth too much effort to give up now. If you have any computer issues pm me and I can hook a nigga up.
