Here's the pix of the exhaust getting it out of the way of the ruber and the driveline.

You may get told that its 2009 and you shouldn't be lifting. But there is a thread about lifting caprice's, if I'm correct it would be some cups and shocks. Trace could probably help you a whole lot better.

I get told alot of stuff all the time but I'm still here. What does that have to do with the year?
RICK206
Next was upgrading the rotors and calipers, make sure I got enough clearence and test drive it.

I'm not to sure, that's what I been told for having mines lifted and it being 2009. Like it really matters. But that bit looks good, when I first read the title I thought u was askin how to lift it tho.

Yeah, I just read the title again and it kinda works both ways. I should've written "The process to lift a box" or something like that but what's done it's done.

nice box
DefdaBoss
i like it
85boxrida
i kno this is a old topic but i was wondering how is that thing driving. is it a smooth ride or bouncy.
DONKKINGS
Thats a CLEAN RIDE ..he did the install right,no tension on the springs, so if he has shocks in.i bet it rides nice..
RICK206
It actually drives smoth, not bouncy at all. Shocks were installed all the way around.

thats why i want a spindle lift, but they don't come as small as i need the lift to be
