OK, Just moved my battery to the bed, so I should start cutting next weekend... it's on 22's & I'll probably take it down to the trans cross member, but not wanting to truly lay frame, i want it to roll still if something goes wrong... Looking at what's still probably in the way, it looks like most of it can just be moved a little and be fine, did anybody need to lengthen wires or anything else that would take a ton of time? Any other last minute tips before I get myself in trouble with it???

YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-LOCATE WIRES AND THE COMPUTER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FIREWALL. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A 285/35/22S YOU WONT HIT THE BOOSTER.

ALSO, WITH THE CROSSMEMBER YOU CAN JUST CUT THE BOTTOM OFF AND RE-PLATE IT.

I have the spindles on mine and it lays out on 22's with a 265/35/22. the only thing with the spindles is that you have to notch for your tie rods and will need an alignment really bad afterwards, but i found them really esy to install(took 20 min a side)but just a hint you my want to paint them before you install them because they will turn that nice rust color after a couple of days.

I thought you had to notch for tie rods pretty much no matter what you do to lay out... I kinda figured on the alignment, but I thought that the toe would stay about the same as long as I rode lifted up. Guess I'll find out soon! I'm running 265/35/22 so hopefully all will be well and easy....
