I was running out of daylight and wanted to drive it so I only got a couple of pics I will post some more anyways I am pretty happy with the rear but the front not so much I was hoping it would go lower than this I get a ton of lift though 2600 bags in front does anyone have any ideas on how I can get lower in the front fairly easy or is it spindles?

aric70chev · 04-23-2012, 12:24 AM

need to get some pics up of the back up I guess I really dont get to much lift out of the back it only has 2500 bags on the back

Fatkid1983 · 04-23-2012, 12:28 AM

I have been told the 2500 will set lower compressed, when I go to put mine in it will be 2500s and I'm going to try and cut down the lower cup a bit. If that's not low enough I will cup the lcas... Looks good none the less. I like it! Fun to play with huh

i dont know man the both compress about the dame its around three inches I think you just get more lift out of the 2600 bags i thought about trimming the cups I kinda wish I would have but on the inside of lca's there is maybe 3/4 of an inch till the bag would rub and the out there is probably an 1 1/2 so I probably wouldn't cut more than an inch off of the cups otherwise the bag is gonna rub on your lca's maybe the cupping will do the trick it is fun none the less
