rear setup ???

[cruisinlow67]

i have a few questions about the rear of my truck. the picture below is how it sits right now. i dont have the bags mounted yet but it has the stock trailing arms in place. its sitting a few inches off the ground and i was wondering if i use the 2 inch blocks and tubular trailing arms if it would lay out? i will also be using the dropmember.

looks like it will, and youve got the perfect paint for a shop truck or just old skool

my truck use to be the same color with the spare tire.. you should have posted this in the suspension board... but it will be pretty close to where you have it now.. the middle crossmember will touch before the step will and you will have to raise the upper loop of the crossmember for the driveshaft

might look like this

ok so im headed in the right direction? as for the front we were gonna z the frame and raise the crossmember. how much will i need to do on each? anybody have pictures of how the truck will sit with the rear setup i want?

You'll need the blocks for sure but the 'tubular' trailing arms won't get you any lower than stock trailing arms.

Your posts are conflicting. Are you going to 'Z' the frame or install a 'Dropmember'? From what I've learned from Nathan, you can't do both.

well i was gonna do the porterbuilt dropmember in the front but its too pricey. i was talking about the rear dropmember from ece or cpp for the trailing arms. i have the 2 inch blocks but havent installed them.
