Tony-

How tall of a tire do you plan on running? And do you plan on running our control arms?

The reason I ask is that we can tweak our Touring version with bags to still get the frame on the ground... depending on overall tire height/spindle selection/and control arms. With that version, there is no necessity to notch the frame.

Drawback is that it isn't quite as narrow as the original Dropmember.

^^sweet, would that idea work with a 27" tall tire, 3 inch drop spindles, possibly narrowed factory 73-87 a-arms, double convoluted bags, and still be able to lay frame?

The Touring version has to run our lowers in order for the bushing/pivot of the arm to clear the rack and pinion.

It's just going to take a little effort moving the fuel lines and protecting them so you don't catch fire and burn to death.
