Drop Question
#1
So i was thinking about dropping my truck into the weeds. Its an Extended cab 5' 8" bed 06 silverado, there really arent all that many like it. It has front torsion suspension and a one piece driveshaft. I have drop shackles and i have loosened the torsion bars a little, im probably only at like 2/4 from factory ( i took the back blocks out as well) well it rides pretty bad because the way i did it. i wanted to tighten the torsions back up and put spindles, control arms and a flip on it. the problem is the driveshaft clearance. i cant find any kits for my truck at all and im kinda worried about the driveshaft contacting one of the crossbars. i think it most likely will, as with everything with this truck, nothing is as straighforward or simple as a normal bed. is there any way i could possibly rig up a two piece driveshaft to help with the clearance issues? any ideas? kinda a pain in the *** but...
heres a pic of it as it sits
