Raised my car up...more

I put some larger hydraulic cylinders in to get more lift....now I need beefier ball joints and who knows what else will break. My sway bar end broke when I dropped the car into that side...I think you may be able to see it lying on the ground

You found it! My repair work turned out amazing. I'm fortunate to have a good friend who works at a really high end repair shop. They put a new quarter on it rather than repairing it along with a brand new door. There ended up being very little body filler on the car and the quality of work is flawless. I paid the painter a little extra on the side to respray the whole car so I got rid of all the rock chips and poor quality factory paint. Here's a shot I have of it under the knife...kinda scary

wow! i didnt think a CLs suspension would allow it to get that high! what size pistons did you upgrade to? what did you have before?

the oil changes should be very easy. i used to have switches on my old ride and it would take me about 10 minutes to do it myself. no jack.

(i'm surprised no flaming so far)

That's up there pretty good. What size cylinders were your running before. Looks like an 8" up front now?? I think a 10" would rip the suspension and unibody to shreds.

Usually I drive pretty low...but whenever I hop on the freeway or drive anywhere far I put it right at stock height so I don't get any tire wear.
