Art control arms

Will the Art control arms and drop spindles lay the front crossmember on the ground with a 255-35-20?

That tire is 27" tall, so no. You'll be about 2.5-3" away. Doing one of captkaos' xmember section will get you 1.5-2" closer.

Thanks for the quick responces! I plan on doing the crossmember drop, but i am 1.5" away from laying the crossmember right now and i want to get rid of that gap first, and i was hoping those arms would do it!

Re: Art control arms

I dont think those arms will actually get you any lower than stock ones. they just give you a little better geometry.

Re: Art control arms

Somad can you tell me what you are running in the front of your truck as far as cup size for the lower, and what you are doing for the upper. I am currently bagged but it is 1.5 away from putting the front crossmember on the ground
