Did the rears first. quick and easy:



Also installed new rotors and pads + did the stud conversion

Fronts take a bit more work. removed the sping and inserts, then cut the perch off



Shorten by 1 inch and weld back together:

HOLY SH!T. :O

So much tire poke!!

[everlast]

Haha you sure you needed spacers?? (I'm presuming you DON'T have any on there lol).

[Chris916]

haha i dont need any in the rears but i needed them in the front to clear the struts so i threw some on in the rears as well to have a square set up

Lookin' good man! I LOVE the look of the massive rubber, sidewall included.

The welds look pretty nice on those headers, must be TIG'ed.

Oh, and one good thing about your ground clearance... you won't be needing a new motor due to a shattered oil pan any time soon. No need for a Tall Pines incident.

You should totally get some non-DOT gravel tires and take this in the Lanark Highlands Rally this year!!!
