Did you have to do any thing to the trans hump, also what did you do about your A arms ( stock, tubular, ? ) thats all I can think of tell I realy tear into it.

Thanks

I have a bunch of pictures on my site, but I havent tackled the turning issues yet. I have been kicking around the idea of a different offset wheel, machining a tad bit off of the rotors, or shortening the a-arms. I can take off the 3" drop spindle, but I think that the angle on the upper ball joint will be sooooooo extreme at drop, that it will snap right off.

The trans hump had to be raised up also.

before I did the z, I had to raise up the front all the way to turn without rubbing the fender, so I think if I got 2" more lift in the front, it should turn fine, but I dont want to have to lift the front up all the time just to turn.
