im going to be swapping my 94 xcab and bed onto an 84 or 85 lwb frame to use a solid axle. i am doing the frame swap instead of just swapping the axle for 2 reasons: i want the shorter wheelbase and i dont want to have to use a 5-6" lift. i intend to run a 3" body/drivetrain lift and 35x12.5 mtrs, probably on 3.75 bs 15x10 wheels. i want to keep the truck as low as possible and only trim the fenders enough for the tires to fit into the wheelwells. it should look like the gray truck with the black fender in this post when finished.

with all that in mind:

how much suspension lift am i going to need?

how far forward am i going to need to move the axle?

what springs will give the correct amount of lift and axle placement?

with that amount of lift, will i be able to run hysteer?

i will probably have more ?'s as these are answered. but thats all i can think of for now. thanks in advance.
