Not really frank. 2" from stock will make the stance alot better stock stance is a bit too high.
will just cover tops of the tires. I might just do a 1" drop on the rear . gonna see what the 2" looks like first.

Sounds great. My wife and I are definitely not the greatest chefs (and Lourdes is awesome) but you guys should come over here next! Maybe in the spring if that works out for both of you.

DAWG 02-08-2017 11:43 PM

DAWG 02-17-2017 08:13 PM
