The owner traded it in on a new 66 Dodge 1/2 ton long bed with a 318 and 4 speed. He and I used to drive tow trucks back in the day and now he owns that towing outfit. 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer

Mine was low enough the bottom of the front bumper was scrapped up pretty bad, and the front lower edge of the running boards were beat up pretty bad.

I have a customer with a '60 Town Panel that wants to lower it but if I flip the axles he will have less than 2" of travel and i am afraid it will bottom out on the slightest bump

Not the lowest, but better then standard. Gene
