A little help before I start cutting and buyin' stuff

Hey guys,

I have looked thought about 15 pages of info before I posted this to cut down a lot of the questions I would have. I have a 65 1/2 long bed and I am going to buy a 64 short wide I plan to way rockers up front, My plan is to Z the frame 2 inches, get some 2.5 inch drop spindles and bags of course. I think I am going to run 18's up front and have not decided if I want to run 18's or 20's in back yet, but the back is the easy part. I have read that I can remove the stock cab "bushing" and install shorter ones to lower the body over the frame enough to hit rockers before frame, is this true? Also if this is the case am I going to run into issues with the cab floor when I do put shorter bushings on it and do a 2" Z? I would like to do this with out cutting the floor up, but if I have to then I have to.

Also am I going to run into any steering or suspension issues after I Z the frame? I know I will need to get some joints for the steering colum, but are there any other obsticles I am over looking?

I know I have more, but I will wait til I get my initial questions out of the way.

Thanks guys!
Keith
