It should lay out with stock spindles and arms. You may have to notch the lower control arm a bit for extra travel where it contacts the frame when you lay out. Its pretty easy to see what needs to be trimmed when you're settin it up. You can cut your lower arm out and move the lower ball joint onto the top of it as well. There is a raised portion on the lower arm that needs to be removed to flip the ball joint. Its very self explanitory when you're looking at it. A small amount of ball joint re-angling on the upper arm may be necessary as well. Once you have all the cutting done on the lower arm you can mock it up and see if it is binding on the upper. If it is you can pie cut the arm to correct the angle and re-weld it. When installing the bag make sure you trim the crossmember back to the frame for clearance. There is a hole in the side of the frame under the crossmember piece you will remove that will need to be plated over as well for strength. A 2500 lb Firestone or Slam bag will fit comfortably in the front when the trimming is done. Hope this helps you out a bit, good luck.

Mine layed out with out doing pretty much anything but bags. When i first put them on it would sit in the front about a 1/2" from the ground, I looked in the engine bay and it was getting caught up on the stock upper shock mount. I trimmed it probably should've just cut them out but then it layed out fine.
