So are your new arms shorter than stock. Don't the s10 spindles stick out a lil farther than the luv spindles? I know I need to make my arms an inch shorter for my toyota spindles. Kick ass build. You going down to the door? Or flat rocker?

Would you be able to take pics of the front completely on the ground? You say you didnt have to Z and your laying flat because of your spindles and you have more drop in the control arms. I believe you are sitting on the crossmember and by the way the pics in teh grass, you are not laying flat its up in the front laying on the crossmember. Thats why you believe you have more room in your control arms to go down its because your not completely on the ground. I am not trying to be a dick but you are giving people miss conceptions about the build.

kaotikl is right, if you have drop spindles you don't have to Z the frame. If he kept stock 6 lug he would have had to Z because they don't make spindles for luvs, checked into when I body dropped mine
