no thats not his, his isn't that clean under the hood

there really isn't a reason to bodydrop our trucks, the lowest part is the crossmember, if you get an aftermarket crossmember or make one like chris you should be able to lay the body without a body drop

What he said.

You'll have to make a flush mount tranny member and notch all the crossmembers above the driveshaft but I'd imagine if you can do this you'll have no trouble with the rest of the minor details.

Yep the fatman.

I'd also rather put the money into something more useful like bodywork and paint.

so if i take the 1.5 out mine like you show will it lay frame without the a arms or the the belly of the crossmember hitting ive got a 71 c10 and i havnt yet measured but im wanting to lay frame but the front is keeping me from doing that. will your chop of the member be enough to lay frame without front hitting first.

thanks and good post





also what about the upper control arm mount it will have to move up also and it looks like there will be nothing for it to bolt to on the frame.

also will you have to trim the a arms at all
