...and it looks like your tires are pretty damn thin.
I think it's more the front that might be to low for lowered trucks. Looks like it hangs down 2-3" under the bedside.

Exactly. That's why I don't think I can run these. For example, everytime I pull in and out of my parents' driveway (not very often since I don't live there) I bottom out along my entire frame rail and the scrape the little bracket that holds the brake cables on the frame. Pretty sure if I had these I'd rip them clean off. Haha.

EDIT: Hey Phantom, could you measure from the bottom of the front eye of the leafspring to the bottom of that bracket in the front? It looks like about 3 or 4 inches, but it would help some of us lowered guys figure out if we could run these without scraping them. Thanks.

if those brackets end up being too low, maybe try the cal tracs with a custom rear leaf/axle mount plate with a few different holes in it for adjustment... although I know they recommend bars being as level with ground as a baseline setup....
Wonder if these Assassin bars just simply create more leverage on the leafs than the cal tracs due to the lower mounting positions?
