Layin frame on 22s

As simple as this question may seem, I have yet to get any answers so any help would be alot of help. I'm wanting to lay my 98 Silverado out on 22s. My question is: would you recommend modifying the stock control arms or buying a set of tubular arms to get rid of excessive camber angles? I'm already running 2 inch drop spindles right now to help the camber. I have also heard I will need to raise the upper control arms an inch or so. Is there any truth to that? If you recommend on buying some tubular arms, who would you recommend? Thanks.

raising the uppers would be fine to help camber and ball joint angle

buying tubular arms just makes it look prettier unless they are a custom job, either shorter or longer, different angles, etc...

Would u suggest raising the stock arms or getting tubulars? Or getting the tubulars and raising them?

From what I understood, the tubulars would help with being able to ride as low as possible in the front instead of riding with the front way up and the rearend way down. I dont wanna roll around like I gotta 2 inch lift in the front and a six inch drop in the back like u see alot of people doing. LOL

The problem with the Chevys is that most of the drop spindles made for them don't keep the proper geometry. By raising the upper arm mounts you can correct most of the problems, but I don't think that any of the aftermarket arm kits will cure any of the problems without still having to move the mounts. I know that on the truck that I am working on now we will need to build shorter arms in order to narrow out the front track width so that the truck is still driveable.

I hope this helps out some.

dude that sthe hottness way t roll right there!

McGaughy spindles don't move the upper balljoint. They run around $250 or so, and you should be able to lay out on a bigger wheel.

Thanx for the help! Thats what I needed to know.
