lifted my 2wd
hahaha gotcha...
i was having a few rubbing problems with my front tires after i lowered it. it had 2'' drop coils with 2.5 spindals and my tires are 275/40/20 so it would rub a bit if i turned sharp or hit a bump. so it was a simple fix. i just took the 2'' drop coils out and replaced them with 1'' drop coils from ECE, and i still have the drop spindals. here are some before and after shots tell me what you think. before... and now...

Re: lifted my 2wd
I like the 4.5" drop, but under the circumstances you gotta do what you gotta do.
How much of a drop do you have on the rear currently?
