Yeah I was pretty sure Big Guy45 did not do the suspension work ..more like the original owner... I do desperately want to change out those coils  and go with spacers. The rest of the car is nice and thats it's ugly side.So is it true if I go with 1" spacers that I'll get 2 inches lift ?...just dont want to overdo it.
  As far as the thumbnails go ?????? I just ried to follow the guide and I guess I clicked on a certain option .Photobucket auto matically resized them.  I think my girlfriend may have done something to 'em before I found 'em but Im not sure.
  p.s.  My garden is now all tilled ,you should have seen the expressions on people as they were driving by the house
   LMAO!!!! :D
