Notching and Bridging..new question chk pg 2

so you guys are saying I won't be able to run 20's on my 86 if I bodydrop it? I read somewhere else on here that plenty of people are doing it..

you can. you aint gonna lay door tho.

Ah, ok. I only wanna go to pinch or rocker anyways. I'm gonna try to do it with my jap bed but if not then I'll use the us bed.

hey holcombe347, what is the length of those lower bars? Did you move the frame mounts or those the originals?

You have to move the frame mounts back on the frame, the stock ones hit. And that will make your bars around 18 inches long, give or take an inch for tab placement.

yup, what seth said. the bars had to come back a little bit on the frame rail where the frame starts to go upward. the stock location of the hangers hit the ground before the frame will. i dont know the exact length for the bars i have, everything is at powdercoat so i cant measure them right now. they are roughly 18" plus or minus.

awesome, thanks guys.

Mine are exactly 18" on center. Personally I would make them about 17" and raise the mount on the frame a little more.

why is that?

They hit the ground when I drive low, even though they are 1/2" above the rest of the frame.
