That means i'm sitting about .5" lower with .5" taller wheel with bag travel to spare. If I pick up the 255/30/22 tires that im planning on I will get another .5 of drop---------------------------------------------24s bitch! FTW!--------------------------------------------- I was thinking that until I ate up my fender when attempting a low turn. I think i could get into a 24 thats a bit better for a driver but its gonna have to be narrow as funk up front.

For example, I hit one last week with my 22s it was so big that when my wheel went into it my rockers hit the ground on that side..... I was nearly at full lock.

bodydropped50 you get your car back yet?and are you planning to cut it apart still?

I thing I get it back on Tuesday.  They redesigned the rear to kit to use a regular bag rather thank a sleeve bag I do believe... Im in the process of painting my 52 Chevy so as soon as that is done I will be cutting it up to make it lay..

any update on this? my car slaps on something in front, dunno what bt i'm gessing the front upper contol arm. i probably have 1.5 inch from the ground on 245/45/20 the rear on the other hand, i cut off about 3/4 of an inch from the cups. it lets it sit low but the only real thing achived from that is that my rear does not go very high fully inflated. minimal travel between inflated and aired out. i have the stock shocks on the rear. when i took them off the car sat as low as the front less than 2" off the ground. my half shafts have marks on them from the body sitting on them cos i drove around without the shocks for some days. during this time, when aired out, the tires were tucked with the fender coming as low as the top of the wheel and i'm happy with that. put the shocks back on and the fender is about 1/2" to 1" below the top of the tire aired out and about at the top of the tire inflated(not much travel on the rear height) giving all this, seem like my height problem is my rear shock. what can i do? any shocks that would allow it to go lower? i still have my bumpstop(and inch worth as i cut it) in the shocks. taking it off this weekend but the most that would give me is an inch moire of drop max and i doubt i'll get that much. so what can i do  help pleae. sorry for thread jaCK
