    :) Welcome........first off were not really a bad bunch.....but the "R" word doesnt really float around here. This place is full of fantastic fabricators, expert engine builders, good 'ole boys...good 'ole gals, visionaries, missionaries, sock****ers, master bodymen, apprentice baiters, a few masterbaters, genuises, madmen, gearheads and guys that can figure anything out and make it work. Your a young guy and you've got the spirit of rodding in you, you'll do just fine. These guys will help.........if'n you lose the "R" rod **** :D. So.....now that ******** is outta the way...post a pic of your sled so we can see what ya got to work with.

    u could just cut the coils with a cut off wheel. my dad is a big Rambler guy (owned alot, worked at a dealer so he knows them), i'll ask him how he'd lower it.
