OK, Just moved my battery to the bed, so I should start cutting next weekend... it's on 22's & I'll probably take it down to the trans cross member, but not wanting to truly lay frame, i want it to roll still if something goes wrong... Looking at what's still probably in the way, it looks like most of it can just be moved a little and be fine, did anybody need to lengthen wires or anything else that would take a ton of time? Any other last minute tips before I get myself in trouble with it???

depending on what rim/tire size ur running, ur tire will rub on ur brake booster, and ur gonna have to do something about the crossmember thats over the gas tank, itll rub on your driveshaft when u drag, that should be bout it. rag:

YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-LOCATE WIRES AND THE COMPUTER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FIREWALL. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A 285/35/22S YOU WONT HIT THE BOOSTER.

ALSO, WITH THE CROSSMEMBER YOU CAN JUST CUT THE BOTTOM OFF AND RE-PLATE IT.

I have the spindles on mine and it lays out on 22's with a 265/35/22. the only thing with the spindles is that you have to notch for your tie rods and will need an alignment really bad afterwards, but i found them really esy to install(took 20 min a side)but just a hint you my want to paint them before you install them because they will turn that nice rust color after a couple of days.

I thought you had to notch for tie rods pretty much no matter what you do to lay out... I kinda figured on the alignment, but I thought that the toe would stay about the same as long as I rode lifted up. Guess I'll find out soon! I'm running 265/35/22 so hopefully all will be well and easy....
