Dont do an angled body drop .. its wrong ...!!!

If you want to lay rocker their is a few way of going about doing this .. First you can z the frame 3" so it will lay flat then cut 2" off the top of the frame under the body and box the frame .. Or you could z the frame and then channle the body so you dont have to mess with the frame ... Or you can cut off the front clip and lay new frame rails under the truck .. But if your fab skills r really up to par cut 2" off the bottom of the frame box it in and then build your self a one off frontend so you dont have to z anything ... The last one is the way i like to build a C-10 =)

Unless your a gnome I think a 7inch body drop is gonna be a tough fit on almost truck. Thomas has the idea, any of the methods he touched on will do ya fine.
