A good thing to do in the future is using the search button. Some guys get a little cranky with the same questions getting asked over and over. But to answer your question, most(if not all) of the parts you'll need can be found at suicidedoors.com and I've only heard good things about them.

Whats the offset on your wheels? I'm assuming that if your going to bag it your gonna wanna lay frame. So be prepared to cut things up quite extensively. There's a lot more info to be had on the subject that can be found with the search feature, but I understand it can be a bugger to find exactly what your looking for. I'm sure that someone who knows more than I will chime in.

First thing you will need will be drop beams which will give it a 3in drop. That will make it a lot easier to lay out. THen check the lowered FAQ, there are some great write ups on what needs to be done. Look at the title of the first thread in the lowered section, pretty much explains it all. JIMMY

Just a ballpark on whats gonna happen, our gonna loose stock heat and air unit, relocate battery in the front, re-route wiring, multilink the rear suspension, replace the gas tank with afule cell, notch the frame, cab floor possibly, radisu arm crossmembers, trans crossmembers, bags mounts front and rear.

In a nutshell that is bulk of the parts you need, and what you can expect.

Hate to say it...but your not baggin anything with those rims...they have a huge lip and appear to me like they would rub...take some measurements and do a a ibeam/flip kit drop first to see if you can tuck those deep dish mama-jamas!

The front will camber in enough. the back will probably be close.

I think your wheels will be close but something definetly to look for. Superryan, I don't think he has a huge offset though. Those rims sort of super impose a lip because the wheel sucks back so much.

Im pretty sure those wheels will clear fine in the front, and out back he may have to cut the fenderwells or raise the bed floor.

Also, I do not recommend the SuicideDoors.com mounts, they have to be trimmed out of the way, and If I had known before I bought them, I woulda made my own.

You have to notch the frame up front for the tie-rods, the radius arms, relocate your reseviors (or ditch them), A/c (ditch it) Battery, ABS (if equipped), Fuse box, Intake, cut the inner fenderwells...

It's alot of work to lay 20s, I just laid mine on 18's, notch for tierods for 20's and set the passenger side up for it, except the a/c, still got that til I wanna upgrade to 20s.
