i had my 12v sitting in my 77 f250 supercab 2wd before i pulled it apart to swap in my super duty dana 60 and it really didnt sit much lower than with a stock 460. i justed looked through my phone and unfortunately i dont have any good pictures of the truck while 2wd showing the ride height but id have to say it dropped it less than an inch. a stock iron 460 weighs in around 650-700 lbs. And the 12v weighs around 1100. For a redneck way of checking have two of your buddys that way 200 each stand on your bumper and see how much it squats. lol

This one is intercooled.
