Raise it we can tune the suspension then worry about sways.
Good times! Man that was a challenge on the way back down and those damn cow crossings and you having to cross them so slow...

I might actually bring the front up on mine this week maybe about a quarter inch, I would suggest a 2 finger gap around all four corners, that's where my rear is at and my front is at about 1.5 fingers. Maybe just bring it up a little lower the Charles or right around there, it is beauty vs function and well you want to drive... Haha

Sounds good, looking forward to the videos in either direction... Haha!

I was reading your guys discussion...

Am I going to have problems with these rims and my tires? I'm running a 255/40 up front. I got the same offsets and sizing as Ilive2win.

you should be fine, it may rub a little if you are lowered a lot but you should be fine. what tires are you running?. i guess the nt05's run a little bit wider than others and im super low and it only rubs on canyon runs and lock to lock lol
