Ya i think it was....bagged down

I did measure and i think the front of the cab was 3"1/2 and the box before the tire 4"1/2 bagged down. But you won't get that with the kit unless you alter it and make it lower. Thats as low as i could go with out notching into the box,infact i notched to the floor of the box. Plus I had to loose a crossmember up front and also the rear end when it goes down sits really low..I have a 66 with a 12 bolt that sit 1"3/4 off the ground and there is a gap under the rear end versus the corvette rear end hanging down. The front with those wheels has lots of room and even bagged down i could make a decent turn compared to my 66

Re: 1958 LS2 with C4 front and rear

Question.. are you going to run a front sway bar? I've got a Flatout front kit in mine and am looking for sway bar solutions.

Well I haven't got that far just yet.....trying finish a few things out and working on it like a madman....I can't put the bar in the back..this I know for sure because of the notch. It just doesn't work back there for sure, but haven't even looked at what to do up front yet.

The dually is awesome.....That crate 454 rocks, lays frame and all the rubber you want. It leaves second gear when it shifts....I have been pulled over 3 times in 5 weeks,before that i hadn't been pulled over in like 7 years. It gets a lot more attention then I thought it would

eBay will most likely have what you're looking for. I got the FBW for a C6 complete and it was cheap on eBay.
