its kind of odd seing it layed out like that with no spindles and i havetn heard of any problems you had. and seeing the people thats flipped bj's with spindles and still cant get it to lay and cant figure out why. i guess its all about upper bag placement

Yea I don't know how ppl can't lay out on 16" Eskies with flipped BJ's and Drop Spindles?

Its a mystery to me!

So far so good for me, Ive been cruising for about three weeks now and haven't had any problems.

I like the wheel..
looks good and $400 was a deal.
find'm on ebay?

bag placement means alot...
but there other tricks as well, like flipping uppers and lowers, using a block, flipping upper arms from one side to another, cutting the uppers to change camber and bj placement, etc etc.

Yes I did find them on eBay. The guy was asking $1,000 shipped and never sold them so I sent him an offer after the auction end and he took it!! Made my day!

Bag placement means everything! And those are some good tricks you listed!

no rubber on those tires...but i have a few connections with the local dealerships and tire stores so i'm pretty much set....
with the 4x4 sheet metal...do u have to buy a complete box for the rear fenders?

Yep, unless your brave enough to swap just the bedsides??

It would take a lot of work. You could try to bow out the 2wd Box with a scissor jack and 2x4....trust me it works!

hahaha....i think i'll stick with my 2wd box...does having the 4x4 front fenders and 2wd box look weird?

Yep! The 4X4 Fenders stick out a lot further than the 2WD...

But, it shouldn't look that bad!

not to steal the thread but whats this switching upper control arms byron? ive never heard of this. what are the affects of this?

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 12:46 am

oh i almost forgot...what about tucking 20s? do u need spindles? i want to tuck 20s without spindles because i hear they push your wheels out 1/2" - 3/4".

truck looks dang good too.

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 12:55 am

wheels tuck easier without the spindles and your correct they do push them out a bit.

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 6:40 pm

what about the switching the upper control arms? this is the first ive ever heard of that.

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 10:35 pm

the arm swap is to buy back some camber...
The same thing can be done but cutting the upper arms behind the ball joint and changing the angle and welding them back togther.

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:38 pm

this maybe a dumb question but how does it get u some positive camber? the control arms are the same length on either side so the only thing i could see it doing is playing the the toe of the truck. how does it get u some camber back?

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:44 pm

opps..
Just saw that I typed camber, not sure what was on my mind... correction - it allows your ball joint to be freed up from being put at such a harsh angle... this was mostly seen on static dropped trucks..

The best thing to do is cut and modify the arm to correct ball joint angle.

Subject: Re: DevB22 '89 B2200 Slammed on 18s Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:52 pm

so pie cut and bend the control arm. how do u know when u have the correct angle?
