    I have lowered my customline in the front with the kit from butchs cool stuff, how can I go lower? I like the look of it now but I would like to go lower. After having this done for about two weeks now, it has settled to about 2.5 inches.

    I'm guessing the kit was an A-arm spacer?

    There are a lot of ways to get lower. Cutting coils, or putting in aerostar springs is the easiest. Dropped spindles is another way, then bagging it is the way to get the lowest. I cut a loop off my coils when I used the A-arm spacer kit from Night Prowlers

    i cut a coil and a half out of aerostar springs but was sitting on the bump stops and i hated the ride so i got another set of aerostar springs and cut half a coil out. still wish it was lower but i guess thats all i can do if i want any travel.

    I had the spacer on a 56 with old worn out springs and the bump stops only had about 3/4" clearance. Dropped spindles or if you want it all the way down, bags.
