Re: A Suburban Joins The Herd

Daren that cit out is to make room for the rack n pinion that the dropmember from Porterbuilt street rods uses. It is designed to lay the truck flat on the ground. If you cant get a hold of a dropmember then you could do a Z cut on the front frame moving the whole susp up a couple of inches. Not much cost here just a LOT of work. You can also section a out an inch and a half out of your front crossmember and get really low. Mine has a sectioned xmember and almost lays out up front. A little more work and it will. Over all the dropmember is the easiest and most effective but if you can't get one either of these could work. Check it out at porterbuiltstreetrods.com. You can also search the other two options on this site with the search tool and see how they were done.

Oh yea Dino keep it up. Buddy.

I do think dino has built up enough bad ass points to drive a focus and make it cool, not that he would......... But I bet he could.

You need two tools in life: duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, you use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, you use WD-40.
