so, how are you getting around the A arms? are they close enough that I'll work? or are you going to have to get creative?

I thought she looked just fine the way she is. She don't need beefed up. The trucks not bad either for a 91.

just like me, there is a point where one has to stop before the aggresive side of the BFH comes out to play.
