Re: wana slam my 69

For under $2000, Wal-Mart sells a kit. It has a floor jack and lug wrench.

How much you want to slam it is directly proportional to the cost.

4/6 static, you can find a kit for under $2k. Bags with a good air management system, probably not.

Find a kit and budget for it or when you start to piece it together it snowballs.

It ain't gonna happen unless you have great fab skills. You can bag it and get "pretty low", but your not going to "lay frame" for under 2k unless you have the ability to Z the frame and build your own stepnotch.
