This is with the coils 3 clicks from maxed out. I don't think I'm going to achieve the lowness I want with this setup I already have the smallest spring. I think I need about another inch down if I'm going to run 35 series tires. Going to have to put some more work into it, but heres a picture

Need some opinions. I finally got all the spacers installed on all 4 wheels with the extended studs so now its time to purchase some tires. The selection of 17"'s sucks.... so would this look good or bad? struggling with this

215/35/17


to me this is perfect^ mild and slight stretch the look I want, but the back my only real choice is

235/40/17


the 245/35 is discontinued

Its staggered though 8.5" front and 10" rear 215/35 would be too much on the rear.

Thank you very much^

Give me at least another week or two! shes in some serious surgery.

Started the other side today. The more I look at it I might have to grind some back I might have pulled it too much in the rear

two piece sheet metal.... This is going to suck



So the trim was really starting to frustrate me on how to pull it to fit. Came up with this idea and seems to be working its going to need some massive love to get it even, but I'm already underwater at this point
