For the 17's u will be able to lay with your lower control arms notched, flipped balljoints, and a spacer to insure u will lay hard! I would just beef up the stock front crossmember but to lay the 18's you will need some spindles! Remember the closer in you put your bag to the pivet point the more lift u will get and put ur upper bag mount right at the top if your frame rail insureing u will lay, also make sure u have a gusset on each end of the upper bag mount facing down to help strengthen the frame, Its real week if u put the gussets on top, and there is also a factory hole in the frame right where the top of the bag will sit. CUT THAT BITCH UP! =)

LOL so if i do what i need for 18 and get 17 it wont hurt it will it?? or i just wont have enough lift...or do everything for 18 but the spindles?? see my problem is the 18 are lexanis and the guy wants 2000 for them, and i can get eskies chrome for 400....so i wan tto wait for my tax return to get the 18.....see my problem??lol

If u do everything i said above you will be able to lay 17's and then when u get the lexani's u can just put the spindles in you have to flip your lower balljoint to run the drop spindles anyways. Just make sure the lexanis have enough offset to still tuck b/c with the spindles it will take away some of your negative camber...

yea wel they are tucked on a bd mazda on droz w/2x4 metal, and i got 4x4 shit so i shouldnt have a problem... i juet need to redrill and/or convert to a 5 lug for the lexanis to work..
