Re: Baggin question.
Those are probably questions best answered by the manufacturer. How low do you plan to go? Are you going to do a step notch? We need a lot more details on your plans before we can offer advice.

Re: Baggin question.
Depends on how big your pockets are. You can go to
http://www.*****************/catalog/...ze-chevy-parts and buy everything you need there. But you will need a monster c notch and probably a chopped crossmember.

Re: Baggin question.
If you truly want to lay frame, the rear is no big deal. You can go with a step notch from any one out there. I do recommend Forum Vendors such as Suicide Doors and Porterbuilt
The front is your biggest stumbling block for laying frame. It's easy to lay the crossmember with stock arms, plates and short cups. You will need dropped spindles, and tubular arms are not required but do have some advantages. The three common choices for the front are a sectioned crossmember, a raised crossmember, or Z the frame. My personal choice would be the raised crossmember offered by Porterbuilt or Suicide Doors.

Re: Baggin question.
I know if I had cash to burn I would buy the raised crossmember kit and get everything you need to get the front end down.

Re: Baggin question.
From what the site says, if you use the stock a arms they will need to be modified, but if you going to buy the crossmember then go with the a arms also. Also there is a steering linkage notch that needs welded in. And your going to have to buy the rack and pinion steering.
