Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)

it is all simply a matter of compromise... if you want to lay on the ground, you have to compromise bed floors, inner fenders, etc... if you want a simple bolt-in kit then it can't go as low.

I think it also depends on what size wheel and tire. when i put my 13" daytons wires on , it lays the frame with out body mods and a/c removal,

I thought about doing spokes to layout, but I went with 22's and 24's instead. I got my tires in yesterday, and the rims will be here in 3 weeks. I did our complete bolt-in kit and it served my purpose quite well with the tall whites, but now I am going up in size. I will still be using our trailing arms kit for the rear of my 65, and our tubular arms, but I have to order a dropmember, and I am going to modify my rear notch...I gots to get lo lo with my twenty fo's

like i said its all a compromise.

The KP is 100% bolt-on and yes we do offer a notch that is 100% bolt-on to allow you to lay out on 20's.
