    Not trying to hijack,, SHC look at http://www.donvel.com/ He's an ex Mercer that retired to his shop, guess you'll have to buy it on the downlow, haha.

    Slammed, if you have only 3/4" of pan/axle clearance at rest, what's stopping the axle from hitting the pan when the suspension cycles, bumpstops or air up the bags? Nice work BTW.
     
    SHC Thanks this.

    Thanks! You can "hijack" any day :) I don't care

    The truck is actually resting on the single front leafs. I asked the exact question before I started working on my truck and I was told the air bags would bottom out first. Well, the air bags have another inch or two in them. The single leaf is supporting the truck. The axle would hit the pan before the bags bottomed out. I'm curious to see how much more it will drop after I installed the steel deck and fill it with fuel.
