3/3 opinion: is it streetable ?

as you can tell, the way it sits, my shit looks like it's a 4x4. it aint.





i was thinking of going with a 3/3 drop with springs and blocks. not cutting or removing leafs as i originally thought.

is a 3/3 set up streetable for a daily driver?

my friend has a 4/5 drop on his dak and he bottoms out everywhere. i do not want that. it looks sick, but it's not 100% streetable you know what i mean?

3/3's speak up! also contemplating 3/4. we'll see.

Dude i have a 4/4.5 on my truck and i have an x it. I drive it 100 miles a day. Only thing i bottom out on is my x kit and i live in shit hole missery with the shittiest roads around. I would be fine w/o the x kit.
And if your going to do a 3 in front do a 4 in the rear to bring it down a little more and level the truck out a bit.

I have a 3/4 on my 01 Blazer and it is very streetable, never bottoms out. My 97 SS has 5/5.5 and it is streetable as well, just have to be careful some times.

i got 5/5 on my 4dr. it depends how you drive your truck. i just dodge potholes and steel plates. i think we got one of the most fked up roads too.
