    ride height woes

    Ok so I put new control arms and the centered cabs on my car the other day. However i did not have an engine in it at the time and now i do but the engine did not make it sit any lower. looks like it has a lift kit. Any idea why this may be?

    Stock springs? What engine? I'd give it a few days to settle.

      Needs more weight if u want it to settle. Either drive it around for a couple weeks or get a bunch of your friends to sit in the car. You need big girls :)

              Have you rolled the car since the motor install?

              If you installed the CABs with the car unloaded, they will be preloaded when you set the car back down and contribute to the added ride height.
