Ok i need someinfo. Ive already bded my truck 2 1/4" and it lays flat with the frame, but im not happy, The zuzu has about an inch to the rocker under the door and it looks like its not layed out, i cant stand it , I want to cut the rocker where it lays flat and you cant see under the rocker, Do you know what I mean. its laying rocker but it dosnt look like it, Well I want to either lower my frame mount an inch or shave the body mounts what should I do? I dont want to redo the front frame horns since I already heve them fully welded up I was thinkin just lowereing the front core mounts and inch and notching out the cross member for the radiator, wich is eaiser?

if youre needing another inch i wouldnt take it all out of the body bushings. itll feel like a wagon then. your best bet is to cut and lower the mounts or try to modify the mounting points on the floor. Its pretty straight forward. if you did a bd you should be able to figure that out

ok i didnt think of the mounting points, actually I havent got under there and looked, Im just hoping I have enough between the frame and the floorI dont want to cut the floor again since I have it all welded up, maybe a 1/2" off the bushings and 1/2 off the bodymounts?well that would be twice as much work when I say it, Ill figure it out blahhh

Isuzu's are 2 1/4 to pinch , either 2 3/4 or 3 to rocker, and 3 1/2 to true rocker... anyways, if you want it to lay hard rocker your gonna need another 1 1/4 inches so i'd say your probably gonna want to just cut it back out... (don't quote me on the other measurements, i cant remember exactly but i know it's 3 1/2 to true rocker)

well I beat the pinch over and flat the welded tubing under the frame so when i bded it the body was flat with the frame , Thats no problem. the problem is the rocker isnt straight down to the ground theres like a 1 1/4" angle to the rocker that goes under the rocker ill go take a pic, I know what you guys are saying, I might just leave it its a daily so I might say FuXk It and leave it, When i was doin the bd I didnt want to cut the rockers , I gues next time I will =)
