Well guys, I started to lay my truck out, but I have ran into some problems. I notched the back already, no problems there. I am running 20 inch rims, total diameter at 27" When I jack the axle up the trailing arms hit the frame well before the truck will lay out. I already have 2 inch blocks to help get it down, what have you guys done to get these trucks all the way on the ground in the rear?

Once the rear is done I'm going to X-member drop it 1.5" and then Z the frame to lay the truck all the way out and get the tranny pan up.

Thanks for the help. Also pics would be wonderful.
