found this article searching mini truckin. pretty cool way to static drop, it says the did this and it was prepping for bagging it but i believe they could run it this way. anybody ever done anything like this? im not gonna do this just thought it was pretty interesting

i wouldn't trust that lower arm... looks like it'll just fold inward as soon as you hit a bump on the freeway.

yea true. is this uncommon im guessing? ive just been starting to research bagging trucks and such

for those who aren't on FRF, he doesn't think they're safe either.

They appear to be backyard versions of DJM arms. I'd prefer DJM's thank you.
