**GMCPaul** · 11-14-2002, 06:09 AM

Welcome Aboard!!!! Sounds like you have a ton of fun ahead with the frame chop. Actually its not bad, 12" out between front&rear cab mounts, remove the front bed mounts on top of frame move rear cab mounts back 12" and lope 8" off rear of frame for 2wd, for 4wd drive I find it is easier to lope the 12" out between the rear cab mount and the 2nd from front bed mount as on a 4wd you don't have to worry about the position of the crossmember that trailing arm attaches to.
