Does anyone have their ride lowered 2 inches? Im getting ready to put the body back on the frame and I went with 2 inch and am curious to see how its going to look. Would a 17 inch tire fit without a fender skirt?
Thanks,
Brad

I really like the look of a lowered car and I had 2" blocks on the back of my sedan delivery. I got tired of it bottoming out when I was driving on a bumpy road, so I removed them. If I could afford it and had the ambition I would put an air ride/adjustable suspension on it. .02

My thoughts to. The roads here are garbage because of the weather.

Right on. Glad I went with the 2 inch. Still lots of room with the 17's?

I added blocks on the rear and Fatman dropped spindles on the front giving me a 2" drop. They have been on the car 10 years and have worked great.
