Well your cross member and A-arms hang lower then the frame rails, so you may be able to lay out on your A-arms, but you will still be a good 2.5 inches off the ground or so.

With those tube arms I would use some smaller diameter washers as those will scrape to hell lol Mine did the first time out with my BYC tube lca's aired out. If only they made some indestructible paint.

Super cool project!
Sure looks like a lot of bondo though! Awesome design, I would love to make a panel like that some day, minus the "ground effects" Keith |

yeah, that filler was only on one door, after welding on the outer door bottoms then having it get dented, and trying to get back to flat. I was going to get a new door... before it fell to arson... it was/is a cool project, im building another one here real soon.

Ouch... that doesnt hurt nothing..... never got into the lowering, is there a point when you have to replace the a-arms because they keep getting set on the ground and scraping off metal????? just curious

Shouldn't hurt anything unless you air out while driving and drag them. Then it'll shred them up pretty quick.
