Will look great w/ the drop. I really didn't like those wheels off the car, but they look really good mounted. Nicely done.

Thanks. I saw the rims on a vehicle and that's what made me like them. Drop gets done tomorrow :)

Need to see if or how much it settles. It looks ok now, but will look sweet another inch lower in the rear... I've been talking on the phone with Tony about it already...

Front - 32.75 inches - Belltech 2" drop spindles & Belltech drop struts
Rear - 34.5 inches - Belltech 5323 Springs and Belltech shocks

Going to have to raise the front up a bit. I can't turn without major rubbing. I also want the rear to come down another inch. It's the difference in the 5305 (which I need) and the 5323 (which I have). I'll be ordering the rear kit and the 5305 springs in a week or so. Going raise the fron up a half inch or inch till I stop rubbing as bad. I'll also be heating the plastic, but heating it now won't help at all...

So I need 2 new tires anyways, so I'm going to do 295/35/24 for the front 2 tires instead of 305/35/24 and raise it just a hair, up to 33" and see what happens...

Haven't updated it in a little while. I got the 295/35/24 tires up front, still a little rubbing, but I'm waiting for my 5305 springs to arrive to finish up the suspension. Then I can cut/trim/heat the areas I need to.

Also bought:

DJM Rear Hardware kit (Trailing Arm Relocation Brackets,Shock Extenders, and Swaybar Shorter Endlinks)

Air Lift Rear Air Spring Helper Bag Kit #60769

Belltech Front Camber Kit

And since I'm almost done with the outside, it's time to start working on the inside...
