awww, she needs some tlc! i hope you are going to fix her up... post pics if you do so we can see the before and after stuff!

 

[tjones85]

ill see if i can find a pic of her when she was dropped. its a 2wd and sits almost 2" higher than stock. gonna lift the back to level it out.

 

[shedevil]

im real glad to hear that your picking it off the ground.they dont belong there!even if it is 2 wd.

 

[ramchargergrrrl90]

[tjones85]

i know you cant tell but theres about 4" of space between the tire and fender. i need to find out what the stock height is from ground to fender well to see how high a really am. i have 235/75/15 w/15x8 rims right now. if i do it right i can fit the 33's without a lift. maybe

Hi
i have a two wheel drive 85 that i want to lower as well and i was wondering how did you lower yours? thanks.

 

[tjones85]

the way i did it you dont want to try. i heated the front springs and pulled 2 leafs from each side in the rear.

i just want to level mine out.. how did the rear ride after pulling the leafs??

 

[tjones85]

if you buy a set of coil over shocks the ride is ok

 

[tjones85]

took a measurement today on flat ground and the bottom sill on my drivers door is 4' from the ground. the space from tire to fender is 5". thats a big difference from the tires sitting almost 2" inside the fenders

 

[tjones85]

im took some pics today and will get them developed and put on disk to post.

 

[tjones85]
