Hey thanks alot and thanks for the add . well for the 5 inches
everything will clear up front . The rear the tire will be just alittle
bit above the bed rail , Its not practical by any means its kinda one
of those do it to be different type of things also 5" should be a litle
under the door .I'am dont have the measurements in front up me but I
think its 1in or less from the door . Will have pictures up when we
start welding the floor in Sat. Morn.



Also we got the Radius arm figured out , we are going to build a all
new radius arm to the rear of the LCA it will be mounted stationary to
the arm , and on a bushing at the frame.so it still pivots like its
suppose to .

sounds like you have it fugured out. cant wait to see some pics. later ginn

 

it takes about 5 inches to lay the top of the rocker, im done with my stockfloor now, we went 2 inches cause i used 2x3 tubing for my frame and all it lays is the pinch, as for the stabilizer, u pretty much have to build another one for that much of a bodydrop, ur gonna have a problem with the stearing too, u pretty much have to either build or buy new control arms cause it will hit really hard when u try to lay out, u also have to shorten ur stearing...its kind of a pain in the *** but it pays off

 

Sweet got any more info/pics of the mods you had to do ? I take it your
using tubular control arms ?we are startinig to weld filler plates
tomorrow I will try and get a few pictures and post up .





Thanks


Ed

 

well i intend to take pics of itevery time i go to our shop but i always forget, tomorrow im for sure gonna take some though...but yea, tubular arms definately, for the ball joint, an easy way out is to use a heim joint and just run a bolt through it for ur spindle, it pivots great, also for that big of a wheel, what kind of spindle are u gonna use? cause i had to have drop spindles for 18's in order to lay

 

sweet man , if ya could get me some pictures of the front setup .

I used my factory control arms and it will lay out on 20's. I adapted toyota ball joints to my factory control arms and doing so we flipped the lower ball joint giving us 2" of drop.from the ball joints out everything is from a toyota. It lays out hard in the front on 18's and still running factory toyota spindle. if i wanted to lay 20's all i have to do is add 2" drop spindle.[img]uploads/GINN/8DED6_6-6-2006-036.jpg[/img]


we dont have a more current pic but this is at the start. after this pic was taken we extended the upper control arm for better wheel alignment and relocated the shocks. I will find a better pic and post later.

 

Hey what are you talking about shortening that steering?

 

about time you signed yourself up !

 

here are a couple of pictures , the truck will have about 3-1/2 to 4 inches cut/dragged off from pinch weld to rocker/door .
