      You don't NEED a low pro jack; drive up a couple blocks of wood and then jack it up! Now get too it and get that front end lowered ;)

      Looking hot BTW!!!

              That is just nutty. Rolling fenders aint gonna go it...relocating is more like it.

                  Simple. Cut fender lips out of the car and relocate them about an inch up. Its suppose to be a haha...geez.

                    The second lower pictures look great! With some 16's, a little less sidewall and a little lower in the front it will be even better!

                      That's exactly what the plan is :)

                      What's odd is that the camber is off between the 2 rear wheels (-3.5P, -4D) and the driver side rear is 1/4" lower than the passenger. I'm not sure how I'll deal with that.

                          Not really happy with this one, but I spent the time to take the shot and edit it so I might as well post it. I needed to back up another foot or 2 to get decent light on the front. Also, holy dirty windshield batman.

                            Meh, I like the idea of that shot.

                            Definitely like where this car is going. About the rear being uneven... that doesn't seem right for GCs. I know mine sits alittle uneven because the threaded colar is farther down on the trailing arm on one side than the other and I can't get either of them to budge.

                            I simply adjust the other so that they are even. Perhaps not the best, but it's relatively small adjustments.

                            Oh, and I'd guess your camber is off because your bushings are wearing slightly differently side to side. Since camber isn't adjustable, bushings are what affect it. (for rear)

                              Ah the bushings, the only piece that hasn't been replaced in the entire suspension yet haha. I would adjust them but I removed the collars in the rear. Thanks for the advice!

                                That is weird then, are you sure it isn't the ground or something else?

                                I've read that replacing rear end bushings is a very nice thing to do. Trailing arm bushings and subframe bushings. Believe that's all you'll need. Just a pain in the ass to do.
