As the thread's title says, if you have any questions about any of the Dropmember products I build... ask them here!

Also, I designed the front steering geometry to where the bumpsteer is in check. I can get more technical if you would like? |

The wait can vary between 2-3 weeks. It just depends how many orders I am filling at the time. |

I think they're a bargain where they are currently priced... but I always try and do something special for the guys that buy front and rear kits. |

A couple of product questions...
I believe on previous versions of the DM, you recommended relocating the bottom bolt on the bag. Is that also true for this version of the DM? and... What is the track width of the v3 as compared to stock? |

well let me explain to u y im asking. i currently have the stock crossmember that has been raised around my framerails, instead of being z'd. i learned the hard way that this isnt the best way to get it done. anyways, my truck is also "doored" and have to almost completly lock it up for the tires to clear the fenders to make a sharp turn. im redoing it all now and am running hydros this time instead of bags. so i guess wat i meant to ask was if there was no bags or shocks connected to ur kit, how far would the snout on the spindle travel going from fully bumped to fully dropped? and the reason i asked about bumpsteer is cuz i eat tires like no other. cuz even though i get it aligned at "ride hieght", i usually drive it as low as possible and my tires arent diggin that too much. thanx for any imput!

What is the track width of the v3 as compared to stock? What 18x8 or 18x8.5 wheel backspace do you recommend with the v3? |

In regards to bumpsteer, most suspension analysts in the performance world, agree that .1" of bumpsteer per inch of wheel travel is acceptable. This is the same standard I keep in mind when designing all my front suspension systems. |

Trac-width is narrowed approx. 1.5" per side. Most guys are running a 5.25" backspacing with a 8.5" wheel. |

Nate, Do you know what someone would need to do in order to run a swaybar with stock control arms. Maybe which sway bar is needed and what mods are needed to the control arms to mount it?

I have an 1.125" sway bar that will work with factory lower arms. The mounting tabs that come in the kit are a bolt-in "universal" style. To be honest, the tabs included in the kit are a little cheesy, but some can be made and welded to your lower arms with little effort. The bar runs $175 shipped, and I should have the final pricing for an 1.25" bar this week. If the xmember your running is the same dimensions as my Dropmember, then it will fit nicely.
