Excellent info. Heading to your profile to check out the YouTube stuff. Wished we lived closer. Would like to meet you. You seem like a really cool dude. I'll keep you updated on my progress. The motor will be going in very soon and once I get that squared away, I'll be starting on the tub and eventually, the roll bar. So much appreciate your input.

Hi
I used the lingenfelter kit at the time 02 ish , not a good look seeing the garage floor through the trunk on a car only 6 months old lol.
A couple of pics i hope may help .
I do remember there was a modified upper shock bracket in the kit , i think it extended the shock travel and positioned the shock slightly lower
so not to interfere with the top inner rim .
The inner wheel well in the kit was great , and reasonably easy to fit , don't think i would have enjoyed trying to extend the stock one .

That's kinda what I was thinking might happen. That was my reason for asking about the 17s fitting into the tub. Maybe I'll just save some $$ and do the LG spindles. Then I can run some 15s or 16s.
