lifted my 2wd
 
hahaha gotcha...

i was having a few rubbing problems with my front tires after i lowered it. it had 2'' drop coils with 2.5 spindals and my tires are 275/40/20 so it would rub a bit if i turned sharp or hit a bump.

so it was a simple fix. i just took the 2'' drop coils out and replaced them with 1'' drop coils from ECE, and i still have the drop spindals.

here are some before and after shots tell me what you think.

before...

i know it looked a lot better before, but it looks better in person, the camera flash makes the wheel and tire look smaller, but itll get bagged in the next year or so, the engine badges are from a 67 camaro i think, they go above the small block emblem between the front wheel well and the door

I like the 4.5" drop, but under the circumstances you gotta do what you gotta do.

How much of a drop do you have on the rear currently?

the rear has 5'' drop coils and adjustable panhard bar
but rear drop coils never drop as far as they say they will
im going to put a 2'' block in the back and that should level it out.
