Re: '50 5 window.....s10 swap
For those who are still doing their research I will add that mine is 3.5" from the top of the frame to the bottom of the floor reinforcement channel at the front mounts. Makes about 1" or so of difference when talking about "how high above the frame". Rhodog, is that how you were measuring yours too?
Was the spacer to get you out of the U-channel that the shackle mounted in? With the poly bushings I used (2" outside diameter), I had to make a 1/2" thick spacer to get the bushing down to where the U-channel wouldn't rest on the frame outrigger. With your S10 bushings being larger diameter than that, I'd assume you had to space yours down even more.
I have 235/75R15's (28" tall) on mine for now, and it's about 9" at the back of the front fender. I'll likely step down to a 215/75R15 on the front when it's closer to being done.
