Ok i got a lil question. My front is fully cut out for everything and all. But for some reason when just jacken it up and use a ruler to see if it lays engine x member its about mabye 1 to 2 inches diffrence and thats on my 15s not the 20s. Meaning that i wont lay out on it. Just maken the tie rod go threw the movment it will stop and wont go any further and its not hiting the frame at all that i really seen. So is there something eles i got to do or wat? And if needed i got a pic of my frame all cut out if ya need to see it. Thanks...

with your stock wheels and tires your overall diameter is probably a little larger than the 20's will be...so if you didn't cut your bag cups down, you wont be able to lay out...thats about where i am about an 1" from laying on a wheel and tire combo set-up for 20's.

well yea. i deserve a slap in back of the head lol. looked at it again And its all good now with clearence to fit the 20s. well i was looken at it and was like :huh: hit the top of the tie rod softly maken it go a lil more in the spindle and yea that gave me a lil more. then took a thiner peice of metal and went across and if layed out my tire could come off the ground. and i think i wasnt goin off the right thing to look the first time idk. But yea now its all good. laugh at will at my stupidness lol.... and thanks all.

try it with the tie rod unhooked and see if it lays out.

I will say it one more time..with the stock wheels its not gonna layout without trimming the cups...which you will need to do to lay out on 20's anyway..I am in the same boat..about 1/2" from laying..

well looked at it very very close today. Its the lower ccontrol arm. that lil small guset on the inside that lil one is hiten the frame. so about 2 minutes of grinding it should be good. will try nad get that done tomarow and get back on it.

More than likely that's what it is. also, check the sway bar mount on the arms, your eyebrow might need to be trimed up more, and tie rods.
