I'm trading a guy my sfbd 99 ranger on 22's for this 84 burbon I want to lay it on the rockers and was wondering what all needs to be done do I have to z the  front end and if so how much will probably just trad drop it with a notch in the back I want to run 22's on it and shave all the handles. also I seen a blue one on here and he as a drop gate instead of the barn doors which model can I swipe these  off of and last but not least were can I get a sliding rag top for it I want it to go from the front all the way to the back

My arms had to be cut, adjusted and welded back together... It was either this or the aftermarket ones for $1000

Z it 3" and it'll lay on 24's with stock arms.   Check out www.c10forum.com.  All the info you need on there.

my arms looked like the ones DOWNHERE has but im redueing them but they worked fine and im laying 24's.  it would be hard to do the sliding roof because the roof line moves up about 2 feet back from the windshield.  you would have to redue the whole roof to make it look right.  mine is an 84 also and it has the truck style tailgate and window.
