i have a 21mm front bar and 22-24 rear at 23 and the rest is 'custom' for my needing to be able to go off road for work but running out of travel and having the strut bottom is inevitable for most who have lowered more than an inch or so
Can you give some more insight?
smaller bars - Check as noted
progressive spring - Swift Wagon? Others? (Is there a sticky that explains progressive springs?)
light wheels/tires - I thought of asking this question - wheel size & weight vs. sidewall roll?
chassis bracing - Strut braces? Fender braces? ? ?
bushings - There's only a hundred or so. Where to start? Point of diminishing return?
Thanks again for all your help.
