Hey guys, Im new to the site, but have been browsing around reading as much as I can. I have a few questions that can hopefully be answered here. I plan on bagging my 98 3.9 CC over winter..Anyways here goes...

Is it possible to lay crossmember on 22's all around? I plan on getting a set of bonspeed rims made for my truck. What offset would you suggest to tuck? Should I go with a 8.5" wide tire or 9.5"?

Now for the setup on the back, Im still confused. What rear setup would work best? Tri-4 link, parelle? This truck is mainly going to be a daily driver in the summer. Im looking to lay crossmember, with F.B.S.S. action. My dad is a welder, and I know a few guys that bagged their s-10's so they could be there to help me out if needed.

I think thats it for now, but Im sure Ill have plenty more questions. I would like to start ordering my kit from SD as soon as possible so I can get things rolling.
Thanks in advance!

Yes its possible to tuck 22's all around with some work.And the rear setup will depend on what you want.All listed will work, but for 22's your gonna want as much lift as possible.Bags on bars some where will help greatly.Also up front get ready to do some relocating.Your gonna have to run trailer fenders up front.Il let others chime in with more specific details.Bonspeeds are great wheels to go with cause there custom made.Id say 8.5 up front n 9.5 in back

my self a nice tri 4 link with canti rear arms. you will get alot of lift a great ride.

a parrelle 4 link is a great set up aswell but you will need a pan hard of some sort weither you use a watts link style or a simple pan hard bar.

also with a 8" bag you will get great ride and should ahve enough hight to clear the wheeleven if you went bag over axle.

sounds like you have a good idea of what you want and what it takes. im gonna be body dropping mine this winter with 22's ill be sure to post pics.

also look into your rear axlewith your offset needed you might still have to narrow the axle.

Thanks for the input so far guys.

Are you guys running dual compressors? What about control arms, what do you guys reccommed?

Well for control arms western chasis are the best i have seen n heard of,stay away from djm.Also if you want tubulars have fun finding some.Go with dual compressors.If you got the money air zeneth are great,but if on budget 2 450viar comp.'s work good.Also what kinda line you thinking of runin???For fast action 1/2 is the way to go.Thats the only thing il ever use.Also a warning in ahead dont buy anything from a company called aim.Dont know if you have been around this stuff long but they are the deffination of suck.

Money is not really an issue. Id rather do everything right the first time, so I dont have to go back and mess with crap. Im still trying to decide what size line to run.. I plan on getting most of my stuff from suicide doors
