Easy and affordable way to get a 3 inch drop!

Post by ragingfish »

I have found the secret to getting a great drop, at an affordable price. My cost? A mere $50! My drop? Almost 3"!!!!Take a look:Now, you ask, how hard is this mod? I'll tell you. If you can walk and chew gum, you can do this modification.Now, how can I do it so affordably? Let me show you! Just drive around with 600 pounds of rock salt of course! It gives you a nice drop, without the hassle of new springs!And when you decide you don't like it anymore...just take the stuff outta the car! Sorry, I had to share that with you guys, cause I just thought it was funny as hell...On the way home, I kept getting looks from people like "you ricer"...and then they look and see 600 lbs of salt, and have an expression like "oh, dude, maybe not a ricer..."But in reality, if you're thinking abotu dropping, and you want to know what it might feel like, borrow about 600-800 pounds of salt, sand, whatever, load up the rear, and you'll get a fuzzy idea of what it might be like to drive with that much of a drop...I emphasize fuzzy idea...but I realized how low the car would sit in general as I got out and I towered over it...Later dudes!

My question is how are you going to get 600 lbs. or salt to weigh down the front to even it out?
