    okay so I am going to make a list of the suspension parts and you tell me do you think im going to cnotch the frame or will it clear fine.

    DJM 3" Lowering control arms
    DJM 4" Drop Blocks
    Belltech leaf springs (3-4")
    2" Belltech drop spindles
    and a set of 4 street performance drop shocks

    in the front i have no fender wells and stock everything other then these parts that are going in will i need to do anything with the steering column? cnotch the frame? i just finally got all these parts but this is my daily driver so i wanna know before i go tackling some project that I am going to need more stuff on also its a standard single cab short bed 1991 toyota pickup i am getting the rear fenders on the bed pulled and rolled since i have a 15"x10 rim i feel it will rub or hit. any inputs would be highly appreciated.

    The 10in wheel will definitely rub and hit.
    And with your drop your gonna c notch in the back.
    Best of luck with your build

    If you are going past 4" in the rear you are definitely going to have to notch it but I would forget about the C-notch and go with a mild regular notch. The 15X10 rims will also definitely stick out enough to require fender flares. Lol, almost. There is a guy with pictures on here with that size. It's too big for a 2wd, better a lifted 4wd. You are also going to need a notch for the rear cross member underneath the rear of the cab. Beefed taco makes them or sells them in the vendor section. Good luck. You also might think of getting a tranny cross member from KBS Fabrication because at that low you will probably hit it. Then again I always say if you are going to do a static drop the right way you might as well just bag it because you going to spend enough $$$ to get most of the stuff you need to bag your truck. Just a thought.

    Definitely a notch. 8" total in back. 4" springs + 4" blocks.

    pray you don't find a crack in the road, much less a driveway or speed bump. ground clearance is only about 8" and you're lowering 7"/8"
