| Im to the point where the bags need to be put on my 86 c10... Doin bag work is no problem, but i dont want to attempt z'ing the frame myself. Is there anyone within a decent drive time from longview texas that would be interested in hookin up a white boy with a z? There is a guy locally that i know and trust, but hes so backed up, its possible it will be 6 months or longer before he can get to it.
And x-members like the porterbuilt or suicide doors members that raise the front suspension without a z are out of my price range for this truck.

| Got 22's on it, and whatever needs to be done to get the truck flat I want done. I'm not to familiar with what's involved in a z, since all I've had are s10s. Mike O was tellin me about someone in Henderson, I guess your him? | |

| that'd be me.... and if you dont want any more than 1.5 inches you can get away with the stock tranny tunnel and would stille be able to run the stock steering shaft.....
anymore you will need to raise the tranny tunnel as much as you z it to allow ample clearance for transmission removal/installation........ | |

| You think the front would lay with a 1.5 and 2.5 drop spindles? Tires are 28.7 tall | |
