97 s10 laying?

ok what does it take to lay frame in the front of one of these? it has 15 inch rallys with some low profile tires and its still something like an inch maybe inch& half from the ground, under the cab, could trimming the cups do it? or would i need drop spindles + custom a arms? i mean 15 inch wheels it should be draging the efin 350 crank shouldnt it?

spindles would help

i believe trimming the cups would do it. and i think you only need drop spindles to lay 20s.

so if i trim the cups, would they any issue with the control arms hitting anything or anything else hitting?

you prolly just need to trim the cups just a tad. i just got done baggin one with 18's and had to trim the cup like an inch. didnt use spindles or nothing. so i would just trim the cups just a little. with you havin 15's you shouldn have a problem.

And control arms,notch for tie rods,notch for wheel tubs and move a crap load of wireing if you have the computer and crap like that to lay out on 20s

notch your frame at the control arm mounts

use that to compare tire and wheels sizes

i used 2 inch drop spindles cause i already had them and i had to cut down the cups and trim the frame so it would lay flat frame on 225-40-18s plus new inner finder of course, but thats what i use on my 95 s10. Oh yeah and i didnt have to trim for the tie rods, but i do got to turn the bolts so that it clears the frame.

hmm, does anyone have any drop spindles they wanna sell, that way i can just throw some 18's on it while i have it all tore down again, and whats the best way to notch the frame, zaw zall hole saw or grinder?

i dont think this is the best way but i used a grinder, its all i had then. the last truck i bagged i used my plasma cutter. just make sure u can put ur fingers around the bag when its compressed, so the frame dont rub the bag, mine is cut to the flat part of the frame on the inside for 2600 bags. when i first started i learned the hard way.
