    Here's how it went. I took more pics but you guys have seen all this crap before so just the gist it is.

    Cut


    Grind


    Welded


    Ready



    Got started in the AM


    Princess on staff to help daddy


    Both sides look like this


    Didn't take a photo of the rear, was anxious to see the result so i skipped photos.


    Here she sits, gonna let it settle, then take the adjuster collars completely out of the rear to get moar low, then will drop the front more. Wheels poke good, might need more stretch tho. Still looks like a 4x4 to me but i must be patient and give it a day to relax. 15mm spacer front, 20mm rear. Extended studs. Didnt get my lollipops on yet.

      UPDATE: Took some parts from the rear spring perches, which brought it down another half inch or so. Then lowered the front another 20mm. Had to take my spacers off because now it rubs in the rear. I havent done any fender work yet. We're getting somewher now people!!! I dont think ill have to mess with the front fenders unless i decide to go more in the front. After rollage the spacers will go back on. Ground clearance is very good still, mind you i have no side skirts or rear valance so it may be as low or lower than others but doesnt look it until you measure the roof lines. Pics after a bath tonight. Then ill wash the car.
