Re: [ProjecT] LoW RangE

CHECK IT!!! hahah
it sits damn near perfect! it sits 1/4" high, but you can barely tell. the brace under the bed 1" tall above the axle sits on the notch, so i just have to trim that off, bolt it up even and shes good to go!



and these pics are at ride height...
WHAMM!

haha well i had to use a good ole CRACKER JACK BOX machine... that wouldnt even tack, but i had some gumbo tacks on it that held the bed up long enough for me to move it to where i could weld it with my 220 hobart

but if your going to do the floor, MAKE SURE your willing to cut ALOT OF SHIT YOU DIDNT SEE BEFORE!

lessons learned on that
1.) if you tell your friends that your going to raise the floor they wont want to help
2.) if you keep your fridge stocked with beer, friends will come over and just talk HAHAHA
3.) RASING THE FLOOR IS A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!!

hahha, but its all worth it bro
