I Went To The Darkside...

[Gregg XLS]

Well...After Lifting my Trac with longer torsion bolts and Copperhead Fab shackels, and running 33's...I was getting 12 mpg...

I decided to drop her. I used some old 265/75/16 tires(still kinda big) and removed my torsion bolt all together. A friend of mine actually gave me some 3" blocks, so i lowered the rear as well...

Questions/Comments welcome

I've driven a "lowered" Explorer before with the torsion bolts almost out from the DC area to Vermont (~8 hrs) and I found it pretty scary on the highway cauz it swayed and rolled like a dinghy. So watch out now, you might want to go a little slower just in case.

So I guess you don't want to meet up at Spring Creek sometime? :

I actually cut the bumpstops and put the torsion bolts back in and it actually rides really close to stock. Next week I'm getting some nitro slammer shocks since my front ones are leaking
