Ride height pics w/notches???

I'd like to see some realistic ride height pics with both C's and steps. I'm not interested in laying frame but I do want a very low ride height. If that means I lay with it aired out then oh well... So I'm considering the KP 8" step but I'd like to see pics of both so I can decide if I really need it.

Thanks!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Ride height pics w/notches???

FF,

I'm running 2 1/2 " dropped spindles (ART bags) in the front and a CPP notch with 1 1/2 " blocks in the back. Front will sit on the crossmember. The rear sits on axle and the differential just touches the plywood in the back. Let me know if you have any other questions.

What size tires do you have in the front, and do they push on the inner fenders when its down?

Re: Ride height pics w/notches???

Thanks Rob and Royo. That's what I was looking for. Anyone have any good ride height pics with a step notch? What's the lowest reasonable ride height without changing the front inners?

I have 205 65 15's (25.5 " diameter) on the ralleys and the crossmember lays before the tires touch.
