I don't quite know what the stock flooring procedure entails but looking for suggestions as to the pros and cons of doing either or? If I follow everything right, I believe I would not have to sacrifice head room if you do the stock flooring way. Is this correct? I am starting on my 94 crew cab dually and would welcome any suggestions.

yes if you do stock floor and z the front and trim and re box the frame you wont loose any head room.. this way is more work but floor remains the same.................. so thats the pro to doing it that way. tradational is alittle easier just cut your floor out and weld it back in where you want it.... but loose the head room in the cab

Thanks for the info liljlowrider. Don't you still have to Z the front frame even with traditional body drop method? I'm aiming towards stockflooring then because I would like to keep my headroom. Can you still tow with the truck and not flex after stockflooring?
