You will need to Z the Truck for it to lay completely Flat. As well as Raise the Trans X member..

Here is mine raised 3 inches.

I have it set so i can get good ride hiedth.. it is almost stock .. But i can set it up so i can roll with no camber at 2 inches if i wanted (but then again i also have shortened lower control arms) .. But then it gives to much positive camber to turn .. Anywhere is a few pics..

Ben Laynbody on here has some pics of a truck he did for a customer.. I like the looks of his the best yet..
