    and come to think of it: the hangers are in a retarded spot for soa, they would work WAY better for sua. The front hanger is just soo dam low. And the springs have to go up side down to come anywhere never the bump stop.

    Well even though the pic is at a drive way angle you can see a little downward rake, my front coils are set at max & rear springs have 3: lift so another .5" should level it out (need Eibach coils for front) to get the 3" I need in front
