That's how much of a bd I did and I too am runnin 20s an easy way to make certain that u drop even all the way around is get some angle iron or c channel or square tubing, 2 pieces a little wider than the truck weld em to the frame and that way when u cut the cab and its ready to drop all u do is cut reliefs in the pinch and the cab with rest on the channel and ur fame and rocker will sit even...I have a post on it on the old site if I can find it tonight I will post in on here for ya so it might help u buddy. Oh and measure measure measure, take ur time don't rush, not need to go half assed, cuz u'll jus have to do it again laterGood luck buddy

measure.measure.measure. when you cant afford it and the possibilties are endless the worst things that can happen will happen...make sure your body doesnt shift or you'll end up with a tweaked cab. focus on one thing at a time finish it then start the next...just thought id throw that out there cause i get a little too anxious at times and have made a few mistakes resulting in redos and more money. have fun.good luck and take pics...wanna see what you got and maybe we can throw you some extra pointers along the way.

those are all my pics from my posts on my bodydrop post on the "other" site

dont sit inside of the cab when welding it back together until you get the sides done or you have a cance of compressing the body bushings and having the cab sit crooked when you take it off the braces.

i have a question, sorry to thread steal, when you bodydrop 2.75", do you ahve to relocate the clutch reservoir and get a smaller brake booster, or does 2.75" give you just enough space
