Re: Need Some Measurments
I have researched alot about this but i havent got that far on mine so all I can say is I got my info from others on here.
1- Lowering body mounts to lay pinch even with frame on the ground = .75" or 3/4"
2- "Z" or other wise moving the front eng xmember up to lay level = 1.5" or 1 and 1/2"
a porterbuilt dropmember is the best way but I feel you, cant afford one yet either
3- moving wheels front/ back = the above mentioned porterbuilt dropmember moves the front wheels toward the front to center in the fender, also helps clear interference with the tires hitting the firewall. if you are keeping the rear truck arm susp, you may want to move the truck arm xmember forward 1" to center it at drop depends on how it looks to you personally. FYI the truck arms will hit the frame (interfere) before it lays out, either use a 4 link or "Z" the rear up to clearance this.
4- lift to stock height = Doubt it, the rear maybe close if you mount the bags up closer to the pivot of the truck arms.
Again this is just info I have gathered here and I have not gotten that far on my truck. I gathered this info from several other builds on here, so it is what it is for info
