How low without dropmember?

[7071Bluck]

Hey guys I have a 91 Suburban that is bagged with spindles up front and it lays control arms right now on 15s. I am wanting to find out how low I can go without a dropmember. I plan to run 22s and any pics or info would be appreciated

About this low,...
There are several bagged 73-87 threads in the 73-87 section.
Or look around in the Projects and Builds section.

You could section a stock cross member 1.5 inches.

Just start with a junk yard core so your not under a time crunch.

My cousins friend gave me one to do for him, and I got it done in less then 3 hours. Then it swap it in about 8 hours, or less then 4 if you rebuild the A-arms from a junk yard core. Provided you assemble it before hand.

The front cross member hangs down lower then the frame so laying control arms is as low as you can go with out a dropmember or sectioning the crossmember or zing the front half of the frame.

Im not too familiar with square bodies but on 67-72s with a wheel that tall the tire will hit the inner fender well before the cross member hits the ground. I have 255-40-20s(fairly tall tire) and when the tire hits the inner fender well(trimmed inner fender), the cross member is still 2 inches from the ground.

The inter fenders have to go and probably the ac box too.

Yeah the inners are already gone, may have to get me an xtra crossmember

The dropmember is pricey but worth it,It centers the wheels in the wheel wells and has rack and pinion.

Take a look at my build, I think I have done absolutely everything short of a dropmember on my 81. Sectioned crossmember, cupped lower control arms, 3" drop spindles. The whole shabang!
