About time

Hey guys. After about a year since my last post i finally got my suspension started. I have a custom backhalf and four link in back. Im doing a
frame z 3.5". Im wanting to at least lay rocker. My question is do i have to move teh body mounts. Also do i have to change the front drum brakes in order for the front to lay out. Thanks

Re: About time

to lay rockers Not pinch you'll probly need to move the mounts about 1" down, thats what i did. if i were you i would swap to discs for the stopping power if nothing else, not sure if drop spindles will work with drums. But tire size plays a factor in what needs to be done to lay frame/body.
