DJM LCA,and cups will tuck but not lay frame and its pretty cheap $250 or so for lower control arms and $100 for the cups. this way you wont have to relocate to much

yea sounds like a good idea, like i said he will be happy if just the front bumper and side skirts are close or lay on the ground so cool i'll tell him to get DJM LCA and i think he already has the cups..but wit the cups u have to run a 2500lbs bag right so it dont rub?

dont forget tranny x member... it hangs down.... make it flat even if you not trying to lay... more driving clearance

upper mount(not finished)lower mount not finishedthis does lay on 22's but not anything bigger than a 265 35 22 lower shorted 1 in and steped 3 in and still aligned properly (no drop spindles)

i need to post some pics of my setup since its done there is another thing to can ream out you stock spindles and flip you lower balljoint, move your upper control arm brackets up 3in and flip your tie rods and you can lay on 22's with out spindles you will also have notch you lower control arms if you run stocks and just depends on if you run cups on the top cause if you do you will have to cut the down to about 2in tall so your bag has more room to compress!!!

the front bumper should clear with about 3-4 inches when layed flat. I just finished an 02 screw with a lightning bumper cover and when he lays his tranny cross member it clears fine
