True, i hate doing suspension simply for the fact that them springs can go through a brick wall....you gotta know what ur doing.

x2

Like i said...u just gotta know what you're doing.

I've done plenty of suspension mods in my driveway w/ nothing but a jack, 2 jackstands, and a spring compressor

I usually tie something to the spring when getting it out, and saying a prayer before putting it back in

What lift materials do I need for a lift that looks just like these. I'm trying to do 26's on a 1990 Box but I'm real picky about the stance. I hate alot of gap between the tire and fender, but I don't want the tire to sit close to the fender. And Also I wanna know how much cutting I'll have to do. Thankx.

Cups and airshocks is good...trailing arms is a maybe...u might or might not need them...we put 6s on my both of my cousins verts a few years ago without trailing arms and they came out real nice!!
