Gloyale Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Looks like a stock brat w/ redrilled 14' or 15" chevy sixlugs w/ low profile rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It's not. The angle is deceptive from picture. It's called "forced perspective" There is however an adjustment on the rear torsion bar and the front spring seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the rear adjustment but I didnt know about the front, thanks ill try the front and see if it levels out. SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) If you raise the front using the strut spring perch adjusters (if it still has them - many have been replaced with non-stock struts) it should only be done for off-road as it will create a positive camber situation and will rapidly wear out your front tires on the road (outer edge wear - especially on turns). The rear adjust is safe to use anytime but the front should be left fully down unless you are not on the pavement. EA81's already have a tendancy to wear the outer edge of the tires in turns - jacking up the struts will just make it that much worse. If you want to level it a 1" lift on the front only would come pretty close to doing that but with such a small lift camber correction is not easily done.
