Re: Theres always something....

I would be scratching my head looking at that also... I just wanted to say that thing looks damn good from the front with that stance. It looks mean..

Re: Theres always something....

how'd you drop your rig???

I have a Civic (no laughing, it's a dd and paid off) that's lowered to the point that I have to drive it onto 2x4 blocks to get a jack under it.....

Custom 2inch block between rearend and control arms (cut up a pair of leaf springs and stacked individual leafs)

No C-notch, though I need one....BAD

The truck kind of has a raked look

Re: Theres always something....

i have that problem with the jack. i bought a lowered jack, but the rear is now harder than the front because the new jack's handle is about 3 feet longer. i never tried the drive onto 2X4's trick, that's nifty

Re: Theres always something....

One of my friend's dads has a 1990 BMW 325 race car and he has to drive it up on 2x4 to get the jack anywhere on the frame.
