notice that everyone doing wheelies has skinnies up front so make sure you get yourself a pair.

I have lifted the driver's front, but mine is a little heavier, longer, and I don't own skinnies.

It is not that hard to lift. Bolton b-bodies have been photographed with one tire in the air, problem is they lack the power to see it through and the nose slams back down, unloading the rear and they spin a short distance out of the hole.

If your sole objective is to pull wheelies, just put 900-lbs of sandbags in the back end.

Me and my buddy just got a go-cart and I have him stand on the back while I put the pedal to the floor. Dragged the back roll bar for as long as I wanted

Tubular k-member,Take off the front swaybar, take out as much weight as you can off the frontend like the front bumper move the battery to the trunk. Get a set of skinnes up front. Set the suspension up right. Also nitrous always helps 100-150shot should make for some nice wheel stands!
