Do you flip them? Do you use a kit? I'm a lowrider and this would only be temporary until later in the year when I'll get hydraulics on it. I'm looking for the easiest and inexpensive way. Thanks for any help! | | |

In the rear you can use a lowering block up to about 3 inches max. The front can't be done cheap.

Lowering (or raising) a vehicle makes it a rolling deathtrap, and while you might be willing to take the risk, don't take the chance of taking out an innocent victim when you crash. Trailer it to the car show, win your trophy, and haul it home!
