Default What is the lowest I can go with my LTs?

So I'll be doing to suspension work here shortly and I want to go as low as possible with the SLP lt's. I've had in mind to just go with the pro kit, but can I go any lower? I love the look of the sportlines, I had them on my '91, and could never get over them. SO what do you guys suggest? I'm hoping for responses from people with experience and peoples opinions on what would look good.

Thanks.

Oh and I searched two different sites and found nothing.

If you're really worried about ground clearance and are set on Sportlines, you can always give up a few horses and get some shorty or mid-length headers. It depends more on the y-pipe than the headers. I've got Pacesetter long tubes and they're not the problem, the catted y-pipe is. If you get one custom-fabbed, it might be better, but Sportlines are so soft that it's hard to get shocks that will work with them.

For what it's worth, I have Hotchkis springs and my TSP catted y-pipe scrapes quite a bit. If I had Sportlines, I'd probably look like those goobers on TRUCKS!, who make big sparks while driving down the street because they're "laying frame".

What's the largest thing you want to drive over?

haha that's what i was about to ask! are the roads bad in your area? if you've got LTs and an OFY...then i'd probably go Pro-Kit or get something from Sam...he'll set you up with a nice ride high and handling...

laying frame=

I couldn't agree more...intentionally bottoming out, great idea .

Lowering for better handling-awesome . Lowering for looks-cool

well the roads aren't too bad, they suck but only in some places. I think I'll probably just go with the pro kit, I don't want to buy anymore headers, or another ORY, so I'll just go with what I had in mind. I was just wondering if it was really out of the picture to use the sportlines, but that is obvious. I'll be good, thanks for all the the support!
