Laying out a square body on 22" semis

I've got the machine shop lined up for anything I need done to a set of wheels. I talked to my buddy last night about it.

What about the front crossmember? A friend was saying he thought it would be better to z the frame. He also thought the tranny crossmember needed sectioning, but wasn't sure.

The frame under the cab lays lower than the crossmember on the crewcab squarebodies, no need to z.

For the 1000 time milling the wheel isn't just about taking off the extra material, you have to get the bead right.

Isn't that correct lock?

No need for a Z on the 1-tons. I just built a new tranny crossmember.

hey lock see if you can get me some dimensions on those famous townasty aloys like the size from the bottom to the top of the rim through the centre when its layin flat on the floor , they might be discontinued in the states but maybe not in europe a lot of trucks here are getting fitted with a extra retractable axle and a little smaller then regulair wheel to benefit from some new rules on maximum axleload and there a lot of different aloys with weird offsets fitted to special ultra low double floor trailers and maibe those wheels are townasties and they can be ordered / imported from europe

What the heck, we don't believe me?

no need to Z..come take alook at my 1 ton, the frame is 3/4 from laying, while the K member is on the ground.

thats kind of what I'm seeing also my front cross member is flat on the ground and my frame rails are up about an inch

I have no a arms or rearend under mine so I could find the lowest point on the frame
