and nothing i have found is really answering my question. Im running cando upper and lower arms with a yota spindle. the frame already lays on a 26.5 tire except when i try to put in a re6 bag it wont work out. The bag runs into the lower balljoint,should i go to re5's or will drop spindles fix the problem?

not sure how well you can see it but the frame is notched for the bag to sit closer to the frame and it is a re6 and stays away from the ball joint. I have drop spindles but not sure if thats your problem or if you just need the bag closer to the frame.

Im not sure if drop spindles will fix this problem, but I would get a set anyway so you at least arent maxing out your control arms like that. I think it will give ya the room you need for the bag too.

the arms with go up another 3/4 of an inch,but i think spindles and cupping the frame to move the bag in closer are my next steps. i was worried that maybe i screwed up on the track witdth of the bottom control arms  but i have checked and double checked and they are were they need to be.thanks guys

For sure get the spindles in there, it will help you lay without pushing the arms so far. An RE6 should fit in there no problem without notching the frame, I have a Mazda at the shop withb Cando arms in it and an RE6 without a frame notch and it fits no problem. If you want to notch it for an RE7 it would be worth your effort, less PSI to lift the front, improved ride as a result.

well im confused as to why im having troubles then fitting an re6.the bag fits when lifted but the last few inches it will just make the bag look all out of alignment.maybe im just not doing something right. i will find some spindles and see what happens.

Well its all together now so i cant get a better pic but i was looking through and found this one if you look close you can see the dish. I didnt build the frame but i have done this on all my trucks it just seems like a good thing to do and it has a lot of benifets. oh and these are kustom werks arms but i know they are about the same.

ok thanks for the replies and help, i went and jacked with it a little today after class and drop spindles will indeed let the re6 fit.
