i just reversed cupped my lowers 2 inches and now im laying control arms with 22;s with 265/35/22 and only need a 2 3/4 inch Z. i have 2 inch belltech spindles and plates on top with 7 inch slams
. hope this helps... and u will not lay rocker with just a Z. u will be pretty close to the pinch but rockers will be 2 inches at most from laying...

okay, so what inch drop spindle can you run and still use 15"s? And oldskool 86: when you did the 4" Z i assume you had to cut out the tranny tunnel and stuff and raise it how much?

yeah but its like $1200, and only accept air ride tech arms which are another $700 and then you have to get the corvette steering parts that they recommend using with it which are probably pricey also since you got to pretty much get them from GM.
