question on making the wheels fit?

ok. im a newbie to building trucks so i was wondering where in georgia to get the rear end narrowed on how much will that be and how do i tuck the front wheels its a 93 s10 with a 20" rim i cut out the fenderwells and bags are underneath it but i dont want my wheels to slant / \ or is that unavoidable. thanks

im in the columbus area, and i have a shop here called parker chassis narrow my rear ends. as far as the camber, you have no choice, the camber is built into the suspension for handling.

Your wheels will camber no matter what. Its just geometry. The lower arms are longer then the uppers so the top of the wheel will pull in as the the suspension moves up. The only way yo avoid it would be to do a custom suspension setup with equal length arms, but who cares. Negative camber owns. just be happy you dotn have a ranger.

..I give up with you retards..

^ and then when you do that, drive real slow so do you dont put yourself in a ditch goin around a corner

well from a racing standpoint, your upper arms should be 50-70% of the length of the lowers, mexicans dont care how their vehicle handles, thats not why they build lowriders. its simple dynamics, picture your vehicle coming around a sharp corner, it leans into the corner, if the arms were equal length, the arms would push the tires over, standing them on their sides, making very little contact with the road, and also making the vehicle steering pull that way.

chuck norris doesnt make turns....he simply roundhouse kicks the road straight.

i ment equal length when lowerd (shortend lower arm)

is over rated

Wow, that made so little sense it blew my mind. In that pic, the lower arms are still longer than the uppers. Just lowering it does not change the length. Chris is correct, equal length control arms=shitty handling and a much higher risk of roll over.
