Okay so when i lay the back of my c1500 out the frame does not touch the ground but the axle is buried right up against the notch. my front doesn't lay out due to exhaust and a shock issue, now my thing is this... my sonoma would have the frame touch the ground with ass end down unless the front was sky high, but even at ride height i could tap the ground, is this normal for a full size due to the frame shape or is there something i should look for. i don't understand that even with all air out and laying on exhaust why the rear section of frame is a inch off the ground. any guidance is awesome. btw excessive 2 link on 245/35r20. and i have not chopped the bump stop bracket off the axle, yet, but can't see how it would hold me up.

On my truck I can have the front up and back all the way down and the frame does not touch the ground either, only when the front is low or close to the ground, I boxed all my frame and relocated all mounts to the inside, so when it lays out, it is flat on the ground.

Thanks Draggin95 thats what i was thinking it was the shape of the fame itself that prevents it from touching unless the front is low enough. I figure once i get exhaust raised or relocated and new shocks in the front i should be able to lay out when parked. just have to figure out the damn transmission bolts now. thanks.
