layin on 20s

i go a set of 20'' akuza with 225 r35 20 tires. my front will have djm drop control arms and 2'' drop spindles...Is that enough for it to lay? What all needs to be done to lay on 20s?

spindles and flipped balljoints should be enuf. i dont like the lowered control arms cause they usually make it harder to bag

i'm layn on 22's on all stock suspension so yea it will work just wont have ne negative camber.

what gives ? i just read you askin about ofsets for 22s on another thread ..."need to know the stock offset and backspacing for my 89 b2200. also i need to know who is runnin 22's with 2wd sheetmetal cause i cant figure out hoe to get past the bodyline cause my z71 wheels with 205 55 16's rub and i need a 3 inch bigger tire to lay out without wastn lift"

either i'm reading something wrong or youve magically figured out how to turn z71 16" wheels into 22?

Seems most people laying on 20's are running drop spindles. Only problem seems to be that the drop spindles push the wheels out futher than stock spindles. I make tubular control arms for Mazdas that are shortened to make up the difference the drop spindles push the wheels out and eliminate the factory strut rods too. Let me know if it is something you'd be interested in.

o yeah btw ^^^^^^ some arms like his are fine to lay out, just not djm's or aim arms or something

i'm laying out on a 205-55-16 which is ruffly 25 inches tall. you try gettn anything bigger without cutting the firewall. now if i know how to measure the amount of drop i have??? i can take my wheel off and jack the spindle up until the ball joints max out then measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the frame. 14.2 inches multiplied by 2 is just about 28.5 inches a 245-30-22 isn't even 28 inches tall. so i think that means i can lay out on 22's now findingthe right wheels to tuck on the back has nothing at all to do with front suspension. all i did was cut the hell out of the lower control arms and everything they came in contact with like shock mounts and such pie cut the uppers and that was it now i've got a piss load of camber but its sexy anyway. all that being said i believe i can lay out on a 26 inch tall 225-35-20.

laying on a 26" tall 15" tire is way diffrent them laying on a 26" tall 22" tire. the sidewalls are completely diffrent shapes and they both compress diffrently with the weight of the truck on them . i'm not doubting you can fit a 26" tall tire but dont act like it already has 22s on it and lays.
btw are you talking laying frame or laying rocker?
