that would be pretty low...

for the rear
you will have to notch the frame for the axle.. like a car with air ride. Also would need to cut out the trunk floor for the upper contol arm mounts (mine already hits) full tubs will be must. Other things to look at would be the trunk hinge boxes and the actual 1/4 panel clearance with a 28" tall tire tucked way up there

im not sure what you would have to do in the front 3 more inches there you wont have much susp travel not to mention the frame. the inner part of the front finders would have to be cut out.

Thanks jackstand.. I was figuring that the whole trunk pan should be removed. Are there any drawbacks aside from loss of suspension travel upfront that would hinder the performance of it being that low. What did u do as far as suspension wise?

every thing is stock. i run an 8 inch rim . my 295/50/15 are firestone radial tires and my 275/50/15 are bfg drag radials. all i did was roll the lip on the fender well . i left just enough that i can still run my wheel trim
What type of back spacing are u running?
