Default Check out this sweet 4x4

Hey thought this was funny... after putting the springs back in and completly taking every extra piece of possible weight out. This is what we got.. looks a lil higher than normal with the motor out!

That reminds me of the time I had the motor out of my brothers 87 Trans Am, he came home from USMC boot camp and the motor was still out, he was looking over the car and said "it sits a little higher than I remember"

i think it looks pretty cool. i pulled tons of weight out of the front of mine too and the front is sitting real high, even with the motor back in.

My friend did that in his car. He went from a iron head and cam 350 to a forged 396 with aluminum heads. At the same time he put the car on a major diet. It sat about 2-3 inches higher in the front. He got new lower weight springs and it leveled out.

Yeah well u need a spacer and also a nice 5lbs hammer, and we also had to cut out the bump stops with a plasma cutter... The rims are 15x10 w/7.5 Also it was real close to rubbing with the stock lca's but i replaced those when i did the rims and tires so there were no problems
