finally dropped the front of the rt

finally came around to installing my parts, i had 3'' springs and 2 or 3'' arms so it came out to either a 5 or 6'' drop in the front
if you have any rear lowering parts let me know!

Very nice, what size wheels are you running, I'm hopin to get the same stance on my project. I'll find out once I install the lower control arms, and the engine and trans if I succeeded or not.

I'm running a 245/35/20 tire and it doesn't seem to rub because the control arm hits the ground and the bump stop hits before tire hits fenderI used 3" djm coils and either 2 or 3" djm lower cointrol armsI have 2" drop for the rear I need to put in but I still need another 3-4 inches

Look at getting the 5" hanger kit from DJM, and then remove the helper leafs, that should net you close to 6.7" drop.
