it will be my new daily driver whil i finish up my 50 dodge truck i am working on. had a few questions as well? i want to lower it but want a bit of a rake to it. still like to haul some stuff now and then(MX bike, parts, lumber) it has coils int eh rear as well. i plan to cut a coil or two int eh front and buy some springs for the back. how many coils should i cut in the front ot make it pretty damn low but still driveable? and what springs should i buy for the rear? also looking for some peep mirrors and a good bench seat swap idea? i want abench but would like one wiht the centre consol and somehting that fits the inside nicely. thanks |
