ok quick question i am wanting to drop the rear just a tad and i know you can adjust the ride adjustment thingamajig on the watts linkage just kinda wanting from start to finish how to do it, how far to move the adjustment thing and whatever else and how far can the rear be dropped by doing this? also what is the best way to lower the front? any mods anything I have to buy etc? i only want it dropped maybe 1'' in the front and maybe 1 1/2'' in the rear just enough to bring it to the top of the tire front and rear... let me know! thanks

cut one coil in the front springs and for the rear loosen the two bolts just a bit and slide towars the drivers side to lower.

do you have to loosen the control arms becuase i know the bushings have the teeth in them that may prevent it from dropping and do you know how far to slide the adjusment thing towards the drivers side or is kinda trial and error sort of thing.. plus do you or anyone know how far the rear can be dropped by doing it?

the only thing you have to loosen up is the two little nuts on the sliding mechanism on the watts link, thats it.
the rear can be lowered about 2" if you want you will have to slide itin small increments untill you are satisfied with the results. thats wha i did.
