Close-Up pic wanted of FatMans Stage III
 
I'm curious about a couple of details on the FatMans Stage III, IV, or V front end kits.

I was wondering if anyone here has this set-up on their truck if it would be possible to get a few shots of how the upper a-arms mount in relation to the top of the frame? It must be the Stage III or better (either coil-over or Shockwave) because they utilize the same upper mount from what I can tell in the catalog pics.

I'm curious to see if the truck kits are utilizing a similar set-up.
Thanks..... Scot

Have you checked out this link.. I just ordered a stage 3 front suspension from him. I ordered it with standard hight spindles which are supposed to be about a 4" drop. Everything here in less than 10 days, I prebuilt most of the front end on some saw horses in less than an hour. I am going to replace the complete frame with a 2x4 boxed rails setup that I am going to build. Will be starting after Christmas.

Thanks for the link. I had actually read that article before but the pics that came w/it weren't very clear @ the time.

I couldn't tell if the upper a-arm mounts were any higher than the factory GM a-arm mounts. It looks like they are pretty close.

So can you get "on the ground" with that FatMans M2 kit and airbags? I am assuming you can choose drop spindles and shockwaves for that setup.

You can order both drop spindles and airbags for thier front ends, they told me the 2" drop spindles really makes them sit pretty low with standard setup. Otherwise their normal setup is like a 4" drop.
