I know what to do. I got a buddy in a machine shop that will do some work on the spindles and ibeams so we can flip the ball joints over and drop about 2 or 3 inches!!!!!!

they make dropped beams for them.....I think Jim Sanders AKA Rat49F6 might know where to get them.

He installed some last year and then late pulled them to go a chevy air bag set up...check out this thread Build thread never know he might want to get rid of them.
