I'm still considering just paying to get it tubbed. The whole reason I didnt was because the shop said sure they'll do it and make the $300 on the job, but being a great shop with more than just money on their mine said that I should get under there and see the little that needs to be done and just work on that since a $300 tub will only get me maybe an inch, he asked if it was really worth it. Well it is worth it better lay out and it will be done right, professionally and will look like it came from factory that way (at least the way they do it)on a crazy side note, these guy's lay trucks and SUV's on frame daily on 28's and 30's! They do some pretty good work
. and yea, I'm get cleaned up and go take some shots...

Ok, just a few pics of drive height. I'm having a little scrapping while driving do to little air in bags and car bouncing a little, however I just received a package today with the UAS billet mounts so that will allow me to achieve this stance with more air and hopefully less bounce.
As you can plainly see, the car still sits pretty high. I'm thinking now maybe finding a way to get the front lip and sliding it down a bit... Not sure how that would work out though.

on yea and camber is a grip with 22's 
when I lift it to where the wheels arent cambered, its pretty close to flush up front so if I got the front end aligned I'd be scraping the fender maybe a larger spacer? but then I'd need to stretch a tire (thinking to self)

like i want to slam my car and of course with 19s its not nearly as difficult a process but since my car is a daily driver, i wont be doing this for a while.

well hes not on air though. Hes using hydraulics. Its actually not to hard to do, just expensive and VERY unsafe! Once you cut out the fenderwells (tub it) just flip the ball joints over and get a set of million dollar upper control arms! However, i'm not trying to lay frame just body kit so thats an extra ~3 inches to work with. The only thing stopping me up front are the outside of the fenders (meaning on the front and back) I have clearance above the tire/rim, but the outsides of the tire/rim is what the car sits on. The rear will only need a slight change to the mount kinda like the kit that UAS sells for the front (which is on its way to me ) All in good time. IMO, that white GS on frame on 22's looks weird, so I'm hoping with the 3" drop I'm doing, it will look like just a good drop and not a hack job
