making s-10 lay

my front is bagged, my crossmember is about a quarter inch off the ground,i already removed my bump stops ive heard you have to notch the lower control arm. anyone have pics or info? p.s.wouldn't this weakin the control arm?

spindles?

You can cut the bump off of the lower control arms and reinforce it or you can cut a small portion of the frame out where the lowers would hit. Sorry no pics on hand

when i had mine i cut the tops off and reiforced them with 1/4 plate. the front of the control arms were flat and the back too.

yeah its got spindles

cut out around the spring perch, notch the frame for tierods, and notch the frame for the lower control arm to come up higher.

email me, i have some great pics of our project s10's factory modified control arms to lay 20's . they were made strictly for us to build a jig off of to make tubular ones for the s10. but i can send em your way and hopefully they will help ya

put some 14" cragers on it

notch out a little portion of the frame where the rear of the control arm comes up

or plate the arms, like i did mine, you may have to notch for tierods as well or trim your bag cups 1/4", all depends on what's hitting/binding
