need trad. bodydrop help really bad ASAP

i have completed the cab 2.5 inch bodydrop to the rockers now i am trouble with the radiator support. We cut ii off at the frame and moved it down 2.5 inches and now the brackets for the bars that bolt to my lower control arms is pushing the truck up in the front. The question is do i need these and if so ho much do you lower the front radiator support when welding it back on the frame. lmk ASAP as this is all thats holding me up.

my email has changed to jbarrandey@cox.net

You need thos to locate your lower arm.

You could notch out your support so that they dont hold you up. I had them on my Mazda and removed them all together. Drove it for 2 years and never had any problems.

here is what i am talking about, the pic is not mine but is the same thing

gonna have to relocate or swutch to tube arms or take the chance with out them

you should have cut and lowered the front bumper mounts and the mounts on the side, that way the strut rod mounts would still be in the factory location allowing it to bolt up like stock, you would just have to build a new xmember up front that allows you to lower the radiator. that is the way i bd'ed my d50 and i bolted the strut rods right up no problems. hope that helps at all!

Taking those bars off completely is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. You can also relocate those bars to the back side of the arm. If you have the money it would be smart to buy a set of control arms that are A shaped rather than trying to make those donkey krap stock arm work.

seth ur shit is so nice bro!cant wait e see it completed and in mini truckin cause i know it will be therefore
