BELLTECH

2 and a half sould get u there .u also need to do the body mounts. u may have to cut a 1" off the bottom of the frame .

what do you mean "do" the body mounts???

i think im gonna do a 4"Z and spindles and see what happens....

u can get aftermarket urethane body mounts at the part store ,i cant remember the part # . 4" z is way too much. 2.5"z and some spindels, and the body mounts will get u there.just trying to help. o you will need to cut about a 1" off the bottom of the frame too, that if u want to lay rockers. if u lay pichweld the z and spindels will a all u need.

so you guys are saying with a 2 1/2 z and drop spindels it would lay pinchweld? you wouldn't have to cut anything off the bottom of the frame to lay pinch? i'm having the same issue. i just want to know for sure what i need to do before i get into it.

actully i just went threw this hole thing....i tired to lay it out on 22's with a 265/35/22..i ended up doin 3 inch drop spindels and tube lowers and a 4 inch z and got frame on ground..the pinch is close but still 1/2 off the ground..here is a pic of it layd out on stockies

so you didn't have to take 1 1/2 off the bottom of the frame? and why did you need the lower control arms? what did they hit? that's how low i want mine. on 22s

that right there is laid out on frame.i did not cut frame at all....i got lowers just because not 100% if u NEED them..u are gonna have to redo steering shaft and firewall if u want it to lay with just zing the frame...u can do the crossmember section but to much work to me...

would like to see pics of the z'd frame

this is befor we supported it just took a quick pic
