Yeah man that's what I am gonna do, just rock the FX tails until I can do a custom retrofit LED set.

Will do sir. I've never done one either, but I've bagged, lifted, motor swapped, long tubes on mustangs, lowered, lambo doors, and just about everything you can think of, so I'm gonna give it a shot. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll make sure I get plenty of pics too

If you do a write up I will do bodylift. To be honest after thinking about it even if I get a rize I will probably still need to do a bodylift to fit the wheel/tire combo I want. I'm guessing I need to be about 12" of lift.

If you wanting 14 wides and 37's, your gonna need a body lift. Unless you do a bulletproof 12" lift or something like that.

With 7.5" in the front and 12 wide wheels, it barely misses everything after a lot of trimming. I'm sure with 2 more inches of wheel, it's gonna rub pretty bad

Yeah that's what I figured. I'll probably sell this kit buy a bds or mcgaughy. Have these coilovers rebuilt and do a bodylift. I shouldn't have a problem getting 11.5" of lift.

I may be wrong, but gettin 11.5" of lift out of any 8" or less lift is gonna be impossible. You can get a bds 6" and stretch to 8.5", and there is the rize8" kit that can be stretched to 10", but anything other than that, you're gonna have to go with a bigger kit. Such as a bulletproof. I could be wrong, so do some research. I plan on doing a bulletproof next year sometime. Their kits seem to be well built

Lol no I meant with the bodylift. Bds 6" bumped to 8.5" with coilovers. Then add a 3" bodylift on that.

Ok. Yeah. That'd give you a solid 11.5" of lift. I have a RCX 6" with bilsteins set at 1.5" in the front, for 7.5" of lift. I'm puttin the body lift in for a total of 10.5". I'll be doing the bulletproof next yr for a total of 15"( unless I stretch the bulletproof).
