I have cut so much off, there is not seat pressure when I jack up the front end.
I began lowering to lower my 64 last night, not knowing I would catch so much hell trying to get the lower ball joint to bust loose. I don't have a spring compressor, guess I could go rent one... was hoping to bust the ball joint loose but man that thing is set in there GOOD.
