Default drrropped it...

well i got bored
weather was shiny,

so i decided to remove a couple leafs from my leaf spring packs
dropped the rear around an inch.5, leveled it out

tested out on the roughest road within a short distance, which is actually...my own street, couple stop signs, made a few turns.
wow, its smooth, no bounce, no bumps, lil bit of body roll making sweeping turns at a good speed

its actually more comfortable even just sitting at a light

it also dosnt want to let the rear tires break loose at all, lil bit of leaf twist under very hard clutch drops, seems like it pulls off the line better, (not sure why)

i have a 5 leaf pack. took the bottom 2 out.

will get the pics up as soon as my camera and computer decide to co-operate
