Re: Rough-N-Low
here is what was done today. we z-ed the front and rear (still boxing it all in). ordering drop spindles in morning. the only question i have run into so far is how can i get the front tires to center in the wheel well?

Re: Rough-N-Low
sweet looking truck man. Only way to center the wheels I know of is to move the crossmember. I dont think anyones arms correct the offset. theres also the raised crossmember that help with it. but you already z'ed it unless you wanna lay door.

Re: Rough-N-Low
When you Z the front you cut it at an angle (what specific one IDK) & when you slide the frame up it moves it forward slightly, to center the wheels in the fender opening
Are you planning on laying frame ??? |
