stock spindle/control arms will lay on that size rim & tire combo w/o a problem, depending on the offset of the rims.

All the other factors depend on how much you want to body drop it, what the offset is on the rims, if your frame is z'd, and if your laying true frame or crossmembers. There are alot of equasions involved, so be more specific as to what your wanting to do.

When there is more of a description, i'm sure Cris, Luke, adam, myself or anyone of the other dakota guys who have been through this shitty journey, will be glad to help.

well i am layin frame i didnt waste my time i did it right the first time new tranny cross member and a 2 piece drive shaft on a carrier bearing and the rims i want come in a 10mm which i want to do in back and a 30mm offset in the front i think thats right maybe im backwards bigger lip in back , anyway i want it to lay the door no pinch welds so when im layed out i cant open the door lol something like that

just basically as low as possible with out cutting the rocker and i want to just bend up the pinches and weld them in cause i know thats a strong point in the body

Like terry said you can use all factory stuff to lay on that size wheel/tire.
