Stepside BD on 20's?

[joelmk3]

Ok i have a 97 Sonoma stepside and right now I lay frame thanks to Suicidedoors.com (Thanks Jason) and i am wanting to SFBD my truck. I would like to know if this is possable on the 20's that i am picking up next week. I really dont want to switch to a standerd bed because there is only 1 other stepside in Indy that is bagged. I have heard that you can do it but they will rub holes in the bedside and that will really piss me off if that happens with my new paint!!! I forgot to say that i just want to lay rockers so like a 3 inch BD.

ugh i believe bzzt is body dropped with a stepside? i could be wrong, im pretty sure someone with a black one is though...

there was a black primered one at ITB that was a stepside on 20's. He had taken tubs (most likely trailer fenders or something similar) and had to make a little hump type flare thing on the top of the stepside bulge so that the 20's wouldn't hit. Don't think I have a pic, but I'll check.

There was a green extended cab down at blood drag i think that was body dropped on 22's looks like he sectioned the stepsides and raised them up then molded it back together cause it looks stock. I think it was a SFBD as well.

youre goin to have to section the bedsides and raise them up in order to clear....looks really good if done correctly...check out this truck on http://www.itsraw.com/enter.htm
they did it to that one

here's mine, lays out on an 18/20 combo, bedsides are not modified at all, the tires just BARELY touch the bed sides as the bed hits the ground.

can you lay frame with a stepside bed on 22's

dude has a ranger here with a tacoma front end and stepside, he's not bd at all but his wheels dent out the side of the bed when he lays, I know its not relavent, but it looks cool.

ummmm, well lets see..... i guess if you figure that if you had a 22 with the exact same width, BS and sidewall as i do now... you probablly could since i just BARELY touch, and my truck is bd'd 3 inches so by that logic you should be able to just lay frame, and have an inch to spare??.... but i dunno, im sure im missing something.... i bet with around 6 inches of BS you might be able to do it.... i think its more of an issue of width with 22s more than height . typically 22s are a 9 or 10, where as 20s are often 8.5 (and again, im talking about laying FRAME not body)

[bzzzt]

oh, and thanks for all the compliments guys

[FNCSTM02]

thats what i was thinking too, i figured that your truck was bodydropped around 3 inches, and 22's are only two inches taller, so.... i think it can be done, i have seen 22's on the back of a fleetside but thats nothing but hackin tha crap out of your bed. Guess unless anyone else has any input if it can be done or not i will just have to get some and find out, oh and bzzzt your truck is tha shit

w0000t i was right... .golf clap.. and bzzzt the truck looks killer.. anything thing else up the line for the it?
