Doing the leaf first and then see how the car looks and rides. My body shop guy did say to stay away from air shocks. Not sure why though.

Guess I'll ask him when I see him soon.

Here's a before and after pic with the new leaf springs and Monroe shocks. The guy said that he measured before and after for a 1 1/4 height difference. The car does handle a lot better now.

Next is front and rear spoiler and the center of the NASA hood painted satin back.

The air shocks will stress the body where they bolt through the floor,some guys have reported cracking in that area due to stress caused from trying to lift with shocks,best to let the springs do the lifting.

Perfect. Now you can carry 3 people, a cooler, and stuff in the trunk and not scrape the mudflaps.

I love the new stance. Just right, in my opinion!

Looks awesome! I went for a leveling stance when I did mine. I like how your wheels front to rear look more equally filled in the wells.
