creative ideas
Hey i was hoping you guys could give some ideas on a problem i have. My merc sits about 1 1/2" higher in the back than it does the front, i have 3" lowering blocks in the back, and im mighty close to having clearance issues, if i lower the axle anymore im gonna have to do some serious floorpan mods, i dont have the money for airbags, nor do i want them, i thought about smaller tires in the back, but that would effect gearing in a bad way, im already running higher rpm`s than i like,about 3000 @65 mph, any ideas you guys have or used in the past would be greatly appreciated, but then again i just might have to modify everything, but i guess i could raise the front, but then i would have to realign it again, thanks guys

Shorter tires would make your rev's even higher.... I like the looks of a little down rake... Got room on the front for some taller tires maybe????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

yeah, shorter tires wouldn't be good. 1 guy on my old cardomain page left a message for me to go to a lowrider site and get a set of 4 13" tire with a 1" whitewall and rim's as a package, as it would make the car " lower " cheaply. I'll stick with my stock steel 15" rims ( painted the same purple as the car , coker classic wide whitewall tires and baby moon caps.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Whoa. What kind of look are you trying to achieve?
I wanted it lower, so i cut the springs in the front and put lowering blocks in the back
