    welcome, the quickest easiest way to lower it is to adjust the torsion bars, and put in some blocks. there should be several threads on how to do it. spindles are a good idea when the funds are available.:)

    Hey man welcome to the site! If you plan on baggin in the future i would deff do with Spindles in the front. The cheapest thing is blocks in the rear, or drop leafs. I did blocks my self.

    You can also de-leaf the rear packs to lower the back more. And in the front crank the torsion bars down to adjust the ride height in the front more. But as you play with torsions it affects ride quality.

    I just picked up the exact rims and they did not fit. The lug pattern is the same but the center bore is smaller. I am going to have to grind them out or something. Any sudjestions?

    Just buy big rims if you're gonna bag it. Try to steer clear of things you don't need in the future.
