Re: lightweight sleeper build

Suspension. I will want to lower the front.The only proper way, whilst maintaining correct geo is to raise the spindles.This can be a tad hellish depending on how well the strut was welded at factory.Drillling out the rosette weld.Then moving up the spindle. https://i.imgur.com/rknwfwtl.jpg https://...
