Cut and turn the front beam.
Notch your rear spring plates.
Crank your spring plates down.(not too much, don't to overextend and use your shock as a bump-stop, or put to much angle on your axle/CV joints)
Trim your wheel wells. Pay particular attention to the lower
portion, in the rear of the rear.(clear?)
You will hit wheelwell at times. (especially while under compression in the front, while making turns.)
Trim wells to suit.
Thats it in a nutshell. |

| If you just doin some trail riding, and not serious mudding, I'd go with the 215/75/15 BFG Mud Terrains. You'll still have to do some trimming for sure, but you may have less clearance problems, and can fit them on 5 1/2 inch stock style wheels. |

| I'm thinking of putting in the trans from my 70 bus(trailing arms,hubs,axils and all included). As for the front I would like to not have to cut any body panels. so should I use raised spindles or would thing trailing arms and spindles be enough ? Also I plan on fabricating a 3 inch body lift. |
