what all does it take to get a suburban to lay body? i thought i saw somewhere that once you get it to lay out, it takes a very little traditional bodydrop? any help would be great. thanks.

this one was at our show in nov. on 22,s with no bodydrop. so it shouldnt take much to lay completely out.
they said it was just cut in front and tubbed and raised floor in rear.

i believe its 2.5.. so a lot of guys channel em to keep it stock floor since the hump is so small.

thats really good to hear. and as far as laying out the suspension, just bags, cups, notch, and link? nothing special?

if anyone has anyone pics, that would be great.

depends on the size of tire you want to lay on.

you forgot spindles in that list.

22's or bigger you'll need tubular arms or pie cut your stockers.

yea, i forgot to put spindles down. does anyone sell tube arms?

thanks for the help man.

do you have to z the frame on these?

I don't think you have to z the frame on it. We painted a 2001 suburban stock floored on 24's and it didnt look like it was z'd, but who knows cool cars did it and it was the most hacked/half assed thing I've ever seen, definently not road safe.

with new arms and spindles there's not too much to do other than make room for the tire and notch for tierods (depending on wheel/tire combo)
