Re: droped the 61 today

Looking real good. The height is probably all you can go stock. Any lower and you will need a C Notch.

just turn em till you are as low as you want to go
you have to estimate how low you are set them and drive let them settle in and then either keep or crank some more
mine in pic wasent relly driven just in the parking lot so they may settle a bit more
