We'll need to know first, how low you want to go, what kind of ride you want, and how much you want to spend. There are lots of ways you could go, anywhere from a mild drop 2/4 drop with springs or radically slammed with air bags. (or anything in between)

Whatever way you go, the pros are here !

Talking

Well I'm not trying to win a show or out low anyone. I just wanna have somethign to play with yet strong enough to handle some power. It wont run 7's or anything(yet). But it would help that the bags wont blow up or something from the torque....lol. As of now I don't ant to body drop it I just wanna lay the frame on teh ground and still be able to put it up and hual ass. I talked to a guy on the FSC and he said I should go with a 4 link layout with the diagnosis I gave him. The I went back and looked up what he was talking about and didn't think it was to bad of an idea. Then again doesn't hurt for a second opinion. So hear I am..!
