Who's bagged their AD stock frame??

[MaydayNeal]

I see plenty of S10 swaps bagged, but just wondering about a stock frame option. It should be ok right??.....my initial plans is to go with a M2 IFS and a triangulated 4link out back. I've done a few searches out there without much luck.....so just looking for any examples out there.

Thanks!!

Thats a nice looking suspension setup! Couple questions though.. what height tire are you running and will the bag setup lay the running boards on the ground? If not how far off the ground does the body sit with no notch? Im also still debating on if I should run the stock frame or s10 frame myself..

Parkwood,
Who is the manufacturer of your rear suspension set up. Installation looks good.

not positive but the frame is not notched over rear axle so I dont think it will get to the rockers.

the tires are 15's 215's in front and 235's in the rear. and as you can see it does not lay the boards on the ground, maybe in high grass it would look that way.. i did not want to set it up so it hit the ground just in case something went wrong while driving at 70 mph. wouldn't be good to hit the ground going that fast.. i think it still looks good even though it's not sitting on the ground...

if you want to call it notched, the frame is notched about an inch just to get the bump stop up a little so the center of the rear end just missed the floor..

Hey Parkwood....

Thanks and very nice work. This is exactly what I had visioned, right down to not notching the frame. I'm not looking to drop into the weeds....but do want the option of a lower stance when I want......so I too am interested in seeing just how low this setup looks and if this was your design or a kit from a manufacture??

Thanks again!

I don't know what the track width is for the Mll front end but i'm sure it's narrower than the stock set up by about 2".. the front rims fit nice without any rubbing anywhere and they are 15x7 with 3 1/2" bs.. the rears are 15x8 with 4" bs..
And so you know this suburban is not mine i built it for some friends in So. Calif. But glad you liked it..
