Bob3 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 You don't want bags? That looks pretty darn low already. I think it is looking great!:thumbup: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 if the suspention is already bottomed out for the most part and you dont wanna do any major fab work like the work for bags i think your only remaining option would be to runn smaller wheels and tires Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 body drop it. this is my friends. look at how low it is! he had to cut the rocker panels off. it is bagged also but the body drop makes it even more so. Quote Link to comment
endubguy Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 well in deed i do want smaller wheels but the bottom is soo close i dont think i can even make it into my garage haha but the body sits to high so. body drop would i have to rais the floor pan and etc. any info?? or links to how to go about doing this i plan to 4 ling the back but not cut out the bed cause i think it looks ugly Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 his bed is mostly there. he is on here his name is coods. e-mail him with question and i will tell him to answer them. I know he left his floor pan where it goes. and put really low seats in so it fits about normal. his bed isn't modified except where he cut it out for the bags. he has c-notch's for his axle but i don't know for sure if his body drop needed those.

mklotz70 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 prob more fab than you want, but you can "Z" the lower control arms up front. There's more write up in my NL320 thread, but here's a link to the PB album. http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k162/mklotz70/NL320/Suspension/lower%20ctrl%20arm%20mod/ ....NL thread... http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=403&page=14 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 This is about the only pics I have of it stuffed. I had to reindex the torsion bars back up when I did the control arms. If I road on the bumpstops(cut to 1/2 now) with the new arm, a flat tire would have me grinding the crossmember hard. I think the rim will go about an inch above the scrub line. Quote Link to comment
