DM310- You won't need a 2inch crossmember drop. My 63 Suburban when my frame rails are planted on the ground my front crossmember is about 1.5-2" off the ground. I am running a 245-40-20 in the front.... Not a small 20 but not a huge 20. It says it is 27.7" on tirerack.com. With Capt dropped crossmember I don't think it will be possible to do Bill Turner Type arms. Not enough material there. Bill Turner Arms will lay out on 20's with no crossmember drop. Small 20's. With dropped crossmember and arms should be able to do 22's. Don't see why not!
