    God forbid I was looking to post pictures of the spacers and the strut assemblies but forget that nonsense anyway they'll be up wherever no big deal should take a couple hours

    No but I do go out on property lines in a long fence lines and out where I'm digging wells and septic systems are getting set things like that not so much off-roading but generally the car is somewhat off the road also makes for easy egress and entrance in etc

    This one's 40 mm in my signature my icon here The next one I do will be 1.2 1.3 in instead of 1.7 no issues just I could get away with that no problem with the 1.7 I can go to any tire size I can imagine practically.

    Certainly easier to get in and out of that's for sure I'm waiting on everything to settle the shocks seem up to the task struts etc no issues everything seems to be tight and it's definitely firmer than with the old shocks n struts.

    That was my dad's the colonels car 02 Corolla with the stop sign in my other avatar that car has 1.3 million miles on it today and the 1ZZ engine still runs although it's very sick The interior is surprisingly clean and of course the exterior has somewhat taken a beating but that's what happens to a white car.
