Here's some pics of one of our pet projects with a dropmember and a 2" Z. We're gonna change back to stock spindles they're not really needed in this app.

kool, mine barely clears when its dropped, im going to rework the suspension over the winter to get a extra 1" of lift and that will cause the arm to hit

Sweet 85 C10 · 09-23-2007, 01:27 PM

Did you knotch the frame in the front where your Rack & Pinion is? And yes steering linkage looks like a prob? Im thinking of doing the Rack & Pinion on my truck but havent seen one completly done yet.

pissonNOS · 09-23-2007, 10:22 PM

hey rob im trying to visualize why that upper arm ahd to be notched what does it hit?

It was prob notched for steering arm clearance that's needed when using a sectioned front crossmember w/the stock steering shaft/box.

Unfortunatly work on this truck is kinda sparratic.due to it being a shop truck. I'll get some more pics up when I can. I will check into the wheel size and offset they are wheel vintiques but I didn't order them. Here's a concept drawing that was done for it.

Twistedsteel · 10-25-2007, 12:44 AM

Damn! I can't wait till that is done it's gonna be sweet! Thats right up my alley.

Nothing yet to damn busy to work on our own stuff. Did get the diff narrowed to work with the rear offset. But the truck is offsite until we get some room. We have 17 jobs in the shop right now. As soon as I have some new pics I'll put them up.
