If yo car feel sluggish the best thing you can do for having the rims on it is to get your rear end gears changed.

yea, ima look into that ova the winter, what gears u got in yours? do u have a locker

When I had the 26's I had some 3.73's on my shit. I had a open differential. Go ahead and spend the extra $400 to get the posi-traction if you changing the gears out. It will def be worth it in the long run. I fucked around and warped my axle from somewhere between doing donuts in a field and driving crazy at mcdonalds......................fucked my gears up and had to get a whole nother rear axle.

Sep 16 2009, 06:21 PM
yo i honestly dont know how i want it to sit, i kinda wanna drop it on skinnie 4s for that real clean look, but its something about riding high dawg.what ya'll think?, so far i was just goin go 295/35/24 on my current lift.some pics coming, car will be done(paint) saturday
crownvic02
Sep 16 2009, 11:25 PM
me personally if it ain't 6s i ain't worth lifting, i hate i ever lifted my car for 4s, but sitting high is gonna get you that extra added attention especially up there since thats whats popping up your way, it's kinda hard to answer foreal, i say skinnies though especially if you going sliders, rims rotating backwards and looking like you riding on nuthin squating on them ftw........
R_GRider
Sep 21 2009, 06:50 PM
thats exactly how i was thinking about it, skinnies with davins look good as fuck bruh. decisions decisions, new pics coming. i guess the shop is waiting for the paint to come in ionno, i want my damn car back doe.
