Re: "Rice Rocket'

I know, I will try to get an alignment saturday or friday (if they are open)

I bought $500 worth of tires, I *THINK* they said I get a free alignment? i cant remember.

I got the bjs apart now, getting ready to cut the springs, trying to determine the best way..

I almost wanna cut em 1/2 coil and try to talk my bud out of some drop spindles hes had forever lol, but I dont think hes gonna budge!

3" front drop and 4" rear (jeep springs) would look great!

(I was thinkin bout putting a block in the rear and finding some used lowering springs I occasionally haul 400-500 lbs but still want the low stance).

Thanks for the advise lowlife!!! I was talking to someone too, a 3/4" hole in 1" metal isnt gonna leave alot of strength I would guess...

2X1" solid or thick wall square tubing?

Ps, I just have jeep springs in the rear, I meant to get a tierod adjuster (aftermarket like the picture) and make an adj. trac bar and make some homeade shock adjusters) will I need to do this before the alignment???

Thanks! I got pics but will post when Im done!
