Wedge: For a non-weld show. Start by cutting/or bending the trunk lip over, and make a few releaf cuts in the rear section of the body. Start hammering on the center of trunk and work your way out to the edge of the lid and include the speaker deck if you leave in the car. Here are a few pictures of the finished product.

How hard is it to Kick the springs? Might give it a try

[mat45]

Undo the upper ball joint take the shock out and use a spud bat or pry bar and arise the spring out of the pocket it sits in then just put a few small welds on the bottom arm to the apron to keep it in place and use a come along to put upper arm bak on. Not hard at all

[prettie2722]

In kicking the springs, do you put anything to help with having no shock anymore or just let it bounce

[mat45]

Let it bounce. It doesent bounce like you think. When you kick them it makes the front stiffer which makes it taller

I GO EVEN A LITTLE FARTHER BY TURNING SPRING SO PIGTAIL IS FACING TOWARDS BACK OF CAR....SIT IT MORE TO OUT SIDE OF ARM AND WELD THE TAIL TO THE BACK SIDE A ARM. KIND OF IN AREA WHERE THAT VERTICLE PLATE IS IN THE PICTURES. LITTLE TOUGHER TO GET BACK TOGETHER BUT STIFF AS heck.
