What do you mean around the doors?

on a few of the bd trucks ive been looking at where they cut the floor by the rockers they had to sheet it in to fill the gat so their was like astep on the inside behind the rocker....if that makes any sense to you i might be able to find a pic to show u what i mean

Your doing a traditional body drop, best way to plate by the doors is at a slated angle, easier to work with. I didn't have to do any of that, I have a stock floor body drop, my cab has a new frame underneath, I just sectioned my cab mounts to match the new frame, everything is in stock location besides the trans tunnel because I had to lift it 3 1/4"(same distance as the body drop)

kool yehai hope to have it done by next monday at the latest..

curious to know if i have stock s10 spindles and im not going to run a 20" wheel .. will i have to Z the frame to lay out?

... ill be running DHP arms.

yo0u only need drop spindley for any thing over 18"s they keep the geoometry closer to stock on bigger wheels..but even with 18 id invest in some spindles is what they are mainly for but with the c arms from mike you should be ok with stock spindles..if u dont run bigger than like 17s is what i would say
