Hey guys i am gonna order a pb dropmember from Nate tomorow. I was curious what all you guys are running to lay pinch or rocker. i wouls liek to run 22 front and rear about a 28-29 tall tire, maybe a 20 front and 24 rear. Looks like ill be using tubular upp and lower control arms.

Thanks for the help

the frame hangs lower than the body so you'll be a couple inches away from laying pinch

oh i have already planned on cutting that all off and boxing it in under the cab.

With Dropmembers and 3" spindles on the old truck and the frame planted on the ground there was 1 1/4" to the pinch weld. With the truck on our drive on rack aired out i had an extra 1 1/4" of drop below "ground zero"...so if you did cut the same amount off the bottom of the frame (i wouldn't) you would lay pinch. I was on a 29.1" front and 29.9 rear tire, if you ran a shorter tire you would be lower....but do you need to be?

Weill I have decieded to use 4x2 and build new rails from just n front of the cab to the rearend. This way I'm nit cutting and reducing the integrity and strength of the frame.
