I want to say its 5" I will go back through my notes.
Hmmm I think it's gotta be more than that I put in the 2-4kit and there was a good 3 inches or more to go from there. Maybe mine was just in 4x4 mode lol.
5" in the front and 6" in the back. Just texted you some pictures.
Sweet. Thanks again.

So we should be close to 6 and a bit being they are slightly tucked. I thought it looked like more guess with lowering every inch is huge.

Wow now I'm pissed...I just removed the overload spring and put new shackles on and I'm still over 5 inch. Hmmm, somethings not right with that!!!!
Ounce you take the overload springs out I'm guessing it will settle a little bit over a bit of time???
Your QC will sit higher than our RCs that's why you still have that large of a tire to fender gap. You need to flip your rear axle to get it looking good.

Yea Tony told me to do a flip kit initially and of course I didn't listen...lol I guess I was just expecting more than a 1/4 drop from removing the over load spring and new shackles.

I think the most you'll get from shackles is an inch
Removing overload lets the rear end rotate more, in turn creating worse traction/wheelhop in most cases.
Quads are best with a flip kit and long shackles.

Truth!!
That's the truth x2!!
I have actually never experienced wheel hop in my truck. Then again I have never dropped the clutch either. I've always hammered it from at least a 10 mph roll.
My RC is 4.25 front and 6.0 on back. Truck is all stock with 17000 miles on it. I'm sure it has sagged a bit just from sitting around.
