Torsions and swaybar come off. You can leave the stabilizers on or remove them and triangulate the lower arm.

If you remove the strut rod you need to either run tube A-arms, or triangulate the stock arm to make it an A-arm. You should be able to lay on 18s with stock spindles without it binding though.

i will be running 16s for now, so my truck should lay out before that becomes an issue?
Seth i angled the upper bag mounts like you did on that (sparky) build

i had to pie cut like 1/2 inch on the upper control arm to keep the upper ball joint from binding too, is that normal?

I had to pie cut the arms to get it to lay. Some trucks need it some don't. Not every truck is the same. You would be surprised how loose factory tolerances are for frames.
