lol not at all. Im dropped probably over 2.5 if not 3 inches and never did an alignment. Dont have any treadwear issues.

Nice so all i gatta do is take it to a tire shop and have them mount tires and sensors. No alignment and balancing
Where did u get the extra .5-1in drop?

Some modifying . Got the front wheels all flushed up. Backs are close. Have to do some modifying. 19mm spacers helped alot.

with yellow wheels lol

Looks good
How many fingers can u put in the gap?
That yellow looks amazing with the gray color.
When i get mines i plan on doing either blue,charcoal or purple.
Purple would be nice.

 

[sonic007]

Yea i took it off a while back. May go with orange here in the next few days. Not sure how it will go with the yellow fogs though.

Before it was about 1 and a half fingers depending on ur hand size lol. Now its none.

Yea idk bout the fogs matching up.
But i say give it a shot and see how it looks, anyways its plasti dip

 

[sonic007]

Yeaa i guess. Lol

So i installed the 2 springs in the back and they were easy.
Now the fronts are a pita. Im stuck on the 2 21mm bolts. I saw the DIY and it says remove the nut. Did that. Then hammer the 21mm bolt out and it seems like it wi never come off. Help? Pleasee

 

[sonic007]

Yea those were the hardest part the first time i think. We used a mini sledge hammer lol. Just twist the nut all the way till its almost off. Keep it flush with the end of the bolt. It may be easier to turn the wheel. Dont be afraid to really hit it just be mindful of the threads.

 

[sonic24740]

Like he said ^ ^ just unthread the nut to the end flush with the bolt and slam the hell out of it.. they will come out..

 

[sonichead94]

Do i have to jack up the lower arm to aline it? Thats what i did to align it when i put the strut back on.

 

[sonic007]

I guess your stuck on the last side? Lol. Yea that will help. I did that when i was putting it back together.

 

[sonichead94]

Ok i will give it a good hammering tomorrow once i get off work.

 

[sonichead94]

So i got one spring installed. And the top hat seems like it doesnt want to get tightened. When i twist it, the bolt doesnt tightened it always feels loose.

 

[sonic007]

Its because the inner part of the shock is spinning with the bolt. I used a clamp with a piece of hose to clamp onto the inside of the shock where the chrome is under the dust boot. I used the hose so you dont mark it up or damage it. Once that is secure and held in good you can twist the bolt tight no problem. Or use air tools if you have them.

 

[sonic24740]

or buy the fancy tool for it.. i am not sure the part number tho..

 

[sonichead94]

Thanks worked out good.
