    I like it. Did you C notch the frame too or just drop it? I have 3" blocks in my 53 and plan on going lower but i think i'll have to notch mine for clearance.....at least for our roads..
    I dig the cragars too :D
     
  3. Bad***. The stance is perfect and the Cragars look *****in'.

    Looks great, like the wheels.

    8" with only a notch, you must have done the drive shaft tunnel and something for the diff?

    Mine was down 7 1/2" and the drive shaft was into the tunnel and the diff hitting the floor, and the axle hitting the frame, couldn't drive it. Had to raise it.

    Did you do any other mods to the frame/floor?
