Z on a 65.

I was wondering what size Z I will need to do on my 65 c-10 frame. I will be running a 27-29 inch wheel and tire combo. I have DJM 3" drop spindles. I already took my cab off and forgot to take measurements so im kinda in the air about it. Next week is spring break and I would like to get started on it. Any input or pictures is appreciated. Thanks

Re: Z on a 65.

i did a 4" z with 3" spindles and i lay on bout a 29" tire. Im stepping/narrowing my control arms too, so i should lay on about a 30" tire. with a 4" though, youll have dizzy clearance problems, steering shaft clearance, along with a few other things. read around, lots of threads on it.

Re: Z on a 65.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my 65 shorty and was wondering how hard it would be to go 2-2.5" z. I don't want it to lay frame just get er low for the bags.
