Re: Halfbreed - GMC Z71 + IH Extd Cab
This weekend I will probably be tack welding my cab to the floorpan and firewall. So I'm faced with a decision on ride stance that has repercussions later on when I go to do any suspension drop.
In the attached sketch I show an exaggerated view of what I am talking about. In the upper picture I show that I can create a slight rake toward the front depending on how I fine tune the pickup bed and cab before I tack weld.
In the lower part of the sketch I show that the bed and cab are parallel to the frame rails.
I am leaning toward the upper one with the slight rake forward. This gets my front end dropped a little more before I even mess with lowering kits. This means I will get a lower drop on the front without having to work to hard.
Does anybody know of a reason not to do the slight rake between the floorpan and the cab rockers?
