    I remember seeing a fellow 5 lugger here with the Fatbob's spacer lift on the front, but nothing on the back. Kind of gave it the Carolina lean look. I like it leveled with both the rear and front lifted, not just the front. I'm not a big fan of the Carolina lean look :p

    Does anyone run the SAW 2.5 inch coilovers? everywhere i look it says they don't fit but i've seen people on here with them. If anyone could post the part number for the SAW's that fit that would be stellar. Also, do they only work with the TC UCA's?

    I have them! They are 2.5 reservoir coilovers (6'') with 500# 3'' eibachi coils and yes you'll get the total chaos uca's also. You will need to have 1.5'' heim spacers at the bottom and 1.25'' at the top. Also run 3.5''x1.5'' grade 8 bolts for the bottom of the assembly to the lca

    image.jpg Order 4 of these and the options are 1.25" and 1.5" the 1.25 come top and bottom with the coilovers but you will need (4) 1.5" for the bottoms to fit snug with the lca

    There are also 4 on top. You need one each side of each assembly. So in total there are (4) 1.25" and (4) 1.5" but mine came with the 1.25" ones for top and bottom

    I know the top plate of the suspension in the front is a different size than the 6 lugs, but what about the bottom where it connects to the Lower Control Arm. So if I were to buy coil-overs from a 6-lug guy, but order a 5 lug top plate, would it work? I wish I knew some more correct terminology but I'm still learning here haha. Thanks!

    Since there arnt any 5 lug spindle lifts do any of you think it's possible to cut and weld and extension on stock spindles to produce a lift?
