Default Stranoized!! (Updated with Pics)
Well put the strano springs and koni 4/3 on today. What a difference!! People really should be getting tired of hearing this by now.

Sam is the man when it comes to this stuff, great guy to deal with. Thanks Sam! I am getting the custom alignment in the morning.

At first, I wasn't happy with the stance. The fronts were a tad high still. After several months the fronts dropped a bit and it has a killer stance!

About an 1", just went and measured, I am 26.5" in the front 27.5" in the back. I followed Sams directions and left it on the high perch on the front and left the stock rubber on the top in the back.

Those are exactly my measurements with Konis on the lower perch and the heater hose mod in back on stock springs. But you'll probably come down a little more.
