Damn, if it weren't for that master cylinder I'd just chop the top off the fender well and raise it 2 inches. So right now I'm thinking the best thing to do is to see if I can shorten the top of the steering knuckle 2 inches. I've got a specialty welder who might be able to do that. Then I'll just change out the upper shock mount so it's higher. I may get a little fancy and design it so I can adjust my Koni shock from under the hood. The suspension geometry should be pretty much the same as your car. The lower a arm will be traveling higher so I may have to tweak the lower ball joint angle. Did you have to do that?
if you use the drop spindles you shouldn't have 2 raise as much as i did
you would mostly have 2 raise 4 the tires

For those interested, I should be recieving some Universal Air front Strut bags to see how they fit on a stock style shock. They are hollow in the middle so fabrication should be minimal compared to Slammed1500's radical reworking in the front.
I should get them today or tommorrow, but it might be a few more days before I can remove one of my shock assemblies to test the fitment around the a-arm and frame. These should be the ticket for folks who already have good shocks on their car like Bilsteins or Konis.

We'll see. How much pressure we're you running?
150-175 on the s10, it weighs alot
the xb runs 100 to 120
all of its half inch but the xb damn near hops
suprisingly not to much pressure compared to what ive seen
sorry slammed1500, nice ride tho, sum excellent work on the front, thatll take a trophy itself

Verdad Gallardo Kenny, are the sleeved bags a good choice for the rear? I hear their softer, but need to be mounted and positioned just right. So I'm thanking a regular RE6 slam bag would be the best overall choice for the rear.
Sound good?

the rearend swings foward a good bet when all the way down
so i think that the double below bags would be better
Hey Kenny, do you think it's possible to do a body drop on these cars?
Now that I think about it, it's pretty similar to what I was considering with raising the engine and drivetrain using a modded K-member and raising the trans tunnel.
