    theres a yellow sticker in the doorframe that says the load capacity is reduced by 300 lbs (the number written in ink pen) it says:

    "CAUTION LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY REDUCED"
    "Modifications to this vehicle have reduced the original load carrying capacity by: __300__ lbs."

    so I dunno what that means really, or what the load capacity is now or what was modified? :confused:

    anyone have any experience with the OME 60091 rears? Is it worth the extra money to get these over the N182's?

    Thats the exact OPPOSIITE from my goal with this vehicle. Heavily modified, yet low key to appear as close to stock as possible. Being able to still get lost in plain view in traffic.

    If it works for you, good on you. I'm at a different point in my life where the extra attention is NOT wanted.

    Guess the last question for now is 33"s? 35"s?

    Or is that where the Total Chaos UCA's & body chop come in?
