Thumbs up Going to lower the Frontier this Monday

decided to do a few small mods to help get the Frontier sitting right.

SoCal Goat and I are going to tackle the project this Monday.
Going with a 2/3 drop....ultimately, with some nice 31.5" 40 series tires that should set a nice stance for it.

Going to check and record my driveline angles this weekend just in case I need to duplicate them post modification.

pics and measurements to follow
