    :) Welcome........first off were not really a bad bunch.....but the "R" word doesnt really float around here. This place is full of fantastic fabricators, expert engine builders, good 'ole boys...good 'ole gals, visionaries, missionaries, sockfuckers, master bodymen, apprentice baiters, a few masterbaters, genuises, madmen, gearheads and guys that can figure anything out and make it work. Your a young guy and you've got the spirit of rodding in you, you'll do just fine. These guys will help.........if'n you lose the "R" rod shit :D. So.....now that bullshit is outta the way...post a pic of your sled so we can see what ya got to work with.

    u could just cut the coils with a cut off wheel. my dad is a big Rambler guy (owned alot, worked at a dealer so he knows them), i'll ask him how he'd lower it.
