Later when I lowered the back end more by moving the spring hangers, I made a c-notch out of some 6" tubing cut in half and plated the sides. Then I had to change shocks cause the ones I had on were bottoming out. Still same shock mounts but with a set of front shocks. The front wheels would rub on the inner fenders if I hit a good bump so I took them out. The coils were ok after I cut them, but I wanted it lower so I bought bags and made some mounts. It has a bit of a lean from one side to the other maybe 1/2" or more... right now its dropped 9" in the back and about 7" in the front and hardly ever scrapes the ground.

like your current pics are a 7/9? oh wow ok maybe i do wanna go lower than i thought

your flip gave you like 6 right? when you moved spring hangers did you do like a drop spring or what? how big was your notch? and your still static in the rear right?
