    I was lectured at length that in the double cab
    The correct no short cuts taken route
    Puts the shocks in the cab..
    That counts as clearancing right?

    Probably will. My truck was 142”. It’s roughly at 133-135 right now. Would like to be closer to 128.

    Huh, i wonder why
    I actually kinda like the handling of the stock dclb wheelbase. It handles kinda goofy but it's so stable cause of the low steering leverage

    I put the cab from my dclb on an access cab frame, but moved the whole cab back around 2". I plan to lengthen the wheelbase from the access cab length which is around 127.8" to around 133". So 8" shorter than dclb but 5" longer than dcsb. Roughly.

    But because my cab is moved back, I have less room there, and 40s would be deep into the cab
