Anyone running a slammed front end with the rear spring plates in there default (factory) position. I currently have a killer rack on mine but I still have the engine/gearbox to go in (which will be done in the next month)

Des
 
I ran a 2.5" drop on the front with standard (saggy) rear, it was all wrong, I did have factory front tyres on so not as bad as it could have been.
 
it won't drive / steer / feel right mate. mines slammed at the front and 2 out splines down at the rear and its don't feel right due to the rake, soon as i can afford it i'll slam the rear :D
 
Rake is good, but too much rake won't help!

Mine Low at the front not slammed, and is 2 splines at the rear,

although i do want adjustable spring plates for adjusting things when the van is fully loaded etc,

Launch ;)

That's why I run a Rake ;)
 
Too much rake will throw your caster off. It will be harder to turn the wheel at low speeds, and it will effect the ability of the wheels to straighten back out by themselves after you turn


Plus it just doesn't look very good :?
 
This is mine with the red9 kit installed and Red9 4" drop plates installed. I do have the engine in too...

Not me in the pic... a friend that helped me get my drop plates installed (Incidentally, he's about 5'10"... for scale ;) )
