3" in the front and 5" in the rear! I would like to bring front down a couple more inches but might have to run as a tail dragger for a little while! Got new tail lights ordered as well! Went with stock for now!

Re: Got it lowered!

I used 3" coils up front and a flip kit in the back. I have Toxic shocks all around. I was thinking about cutting the coil but they are already 3" lowering springs in the front. I am nervous about cutting them any lower. Any suggestions?

Re: Got it lowered!

Just get some lowering spindles, if those are good lowering springs I would not mess them up cutting them.

Re: Got it lowered!

Ok get a drop spindle then. I wouldn't cut anymore from the springs. I figured you used a spindle up front already....
