Slam Question
 
Will I be able to slam my truck and remove the wheel well without doing any rearranging, such as the arms that hold up the hood? (Engine bay)

I want to go as far down with C-Notches and bags.

We were planning to remove the wheel tub but I was curious if anything needed to be relocated. We don't have the bag system yet, still trying to piece it together. We're going to fab a lot of the parts for it

It depends on a lot of things. Tire size will play a big factor in clearance issues(diam and backspacing). Hood hinges and heater box will most likely need modifing if you want to go real low. A good way to tell is remove your inner fender and front springs and jack the assembly up and see what is in the way. Turn lock to lock when its up also to check clearance that way. But you will need to put a block of wood(or something) in the spring s place to mimic the bag at full deflation(size of it depends on bag). How do you plan on mounting the bags(flat plate on upper crossmember)? You will need to consider this when checking clearances.

i you C-notch the frame in the rear the rear pumpkin will hit the bed floor, use the porter built track bar....plating the bottom of the factory A-arms will give you a better ride height, for the front and for the bags....
