A Lot! That low would probably involve chassis notching at the rear.
The front has maybe been converted to an IFS with airbags,nice truck though.
Those are some big wheels too,I like the big diameter with the old school look.

Here's my low truck..... grin

I forgot to measure the ride height before I did all the work.
So I don't know the total drop! dang

Oh and by the way...Welcome to the 'bolt. You might want to check out the picture posting policy.
(I see Cletis has sorted that!) thumbs_up

Did all myself. bags/notched frame and dropped spindels
Freme notch is cheap. make it yourself and weld in place or buy them even for a bolt in instalation. Spindles are a little more extensive $225 have to have a couple of extra tools.

Air bags got the most effect but the compressor is kinda expensive.
