Love that look but, I must say Easy Street's bags are not even close to Ride Tech's when it come to performance. It's really hard to beat when they come with QA1 struts...

bdyman-

I'll be very close to that once i get the front modded to allow me to sit the car down all the way. As it sits now i can deflate the rear bags completely but i have to leave around 20psi in the front bags to avoid damaging stuff. Hopefully I should get another 1" lower (hopefully more) once the mod is done up front.

Thanks for the idea but i actually don't need to do that ... I will clear them even with my perfect alignment. Just gotta modify the fender liner and possibly roll a piece of metal above the liner and then I will be able to sit it all the way down.

what i did was i cut the pinch weld off of the upper frame rail, and modified the fender liner, there are 2 parts of the liner i cut the rear liner in half and cut the front 3/4 off
and i cut a mounting tab off for the liner and what you see is the end result
but im sending richie my struts, so his shop can modify the struts so i can sit lower, there is more room to go and i will get lower

Derek: I will send you pics of what you need to do to get lower in the front.

hok666: I will post more today.

bdyman: Are we changing location where the struts mount to the knuckle?

yes correct, he is going to change the mounting locations, the engine cradle is a inch from the ground, and there is more room at the tire to the upper frame rail and in the rear wheel house,

so when hes done the car will basiclly be sitting on the tires and the engine cradle will be on the ground, or i could just do a body drop but thats to much work and modifying the struts is the cheaper alternitive

I want to see this. Its easy to change the location with the ride tech struts but, I cant get any lower so it doesnt matter. If I try'd the strut would be resting on the CV boot. lol

BTW: This also means no kit as well.

Agreed. When are you looking to get them back?

Will do ... I gotta go to a family function so it will be later tonight though.

Bdyman-

Thanks man ... If I run into any issues that NoSweat can't solve then I'll let you know.

Steve-

I'll send you a PM with my email address so you can send those photos to.
