I couldn't do the rear bag mounts until I figured out where the front was gonna sit so I started with the lower Control arms. I put in a bag pocket and flattened out the end where the balljoint is

I bought a 6 lug disk brake kit and drop spindles from CPP, but no one told me that this conversion pushes the track width out.Between that and just lowering it I gained an inch and a half per side. I'm running 275/50's on the front so I narrowed the crossmember 3 inches.

Here is where I think ride Height will be, and another 5" down when aired out.

Now I am building new upper control arms and pancaking the crossmember an inch................

What'de think?
