Re: s10 swap rear wheel/bed alignment issue

Will keep that in mind. I will probably go the static drop route first once I've settled on wheels and tires. I did set the body a little low to begin with so I could lay running boards without too much modification to the suspension. That meant a small tunnel in the cab for the transmission and it looks like I've lost 1.5" from the bed depth for the hump in the frame that goes over the axle. Hopefully I can avoid a C-notch when it comes time to bag the rear. That may require a bag behind axle setup instead of bag over axle.... plenty of time to sort those details out once I'm driving
