25 downloadsi finally got my car goin. i redid all my suspension, new everything, v8 cutlass springs, shocks up front, airshocks in da back, ball joints, pitman arm, bushings, brakes , brake hoses, rotors, drums. only thing to change now is my powersteering pump, the chrome 1 i have didnt work for me, so i used a old 1 my boi gave me and now my steering box is leaking, seems like anytime i try to save a buck it backfires. for the lift i used 1 inch cups up front, and for the rear im using airshocks, and i got some dude to extend my lower trailing arms like a inch or so. i had to cut the front fenders a bit but when i get the trim that goes around the wheel wells u shouldnt be able to tell, i hope. i cut the plastic in the fender wells in a couple of places where it rubbed. in da rear i only had to grind some places along the chasis. all i have to do now for the undercarriege is to clean up the light rust, and paint everything black, after i fix the steering box. it rides real good, no bounce, no rub nowhere. the only thing is i cant make sharp u turns cuz da front wheels rub on the chasis, but its not that bad. heres a couple of pics , any comments or suggestions or welcomed. keep in mind im in Dallas, and prolly the only1 with this stance, and no 1 here likes it, lol. i do. every1 here likes ridin up high. i hope i got the stance rite.....Attached Files

i had to use adapters for the back, it was the cheapest way. I think theyre like 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch adapters, and the rims are 24 x 10 and they dont stick out. On the frame i hade to shave it down on the corners with a grinder.
