Will a flat one help or are you going to hit the frame?

 

[Krazyfj]

I was thinking about notching the frame although it would probably be easier/better to get a 1/2" or so drop and turn the tre upside down? Maybe, not sure.

 

[plfj40]

you might have to notch the frame, like i did. works pretty well. notched it on both sides.

The problem is that i would need to notch it at the cross member, don't really want to mess with the cross member,

 

[plfj40]

there is no easy way.

Can you move the steering box?
My 40's running a 1 ton chevy steering box that has been moved more towards the front and I've got plenty of room in between.
I personally would cut the frame as a last resort.

looks to me that if you put the springs down under neath the axle you could then drop the arm on that right knuckle and you would be good to go.
