Default Subframe options for stock sub aftermarket parts?

I was talking to DSE about a new sub, but I would not be able to use my Speedtech A-arms, hotchkis sway, and Willwood brakes and spindles. Are there any other options for subs out there that I could swap my parts onto and still fit a wider front tire? Thanks.

I am running a BBC with some 2.25" Lemons race headers with my stock sub. Any issues with those on a Speedtech sub?

My GUESS is the header would clear, but I would not promise. I am sure Speedtech won't know for sure either. You may have to modify a tube or towo on the driver side.

Sounds like a winter project

Have you thought about reworking your stock sub.With a little bit of work you can fit a 9.5 wheel up frt.
