Skinnies, the stock rims and tires are too heavy to really get any daylight under 'em.

LOL... you sure don't want to do it on purpose, but yes everyone needs to experience it at least once.

I love the in car video. Thanks for sharing.

Raising the torque arm would raise the IC unless the LCA's are angled down which would then lengthen and lower it

The first video crushed headers, broke oil pan, cracked block, shattered bell housing and peeled up the bumper a little, not good. The second one just scraped the back bumper and crossmember I put in 1/2" lower than oil pan. Life saver.

If you don't care, would you mind to elaborate a little on your suspension mods and setup and what you think helped you to achieve wheel stands quite like that? I am not looking to do quite what you are, but hey that's what they made wheelie bars for, right? lol Btw is that N/A? And how much horsepower is being made at the tires?

Thanks for any help...

Good suspension and lots of Horsepower. You need traction. It costs lots of $ but the feeling of being planted in your seat and looking at sky is better than sex!
