Well this is a thread from the past but I'm back at it with the 52. With the help of some buddies I've made a lot of progress. I flipped the rear which lowered it about 5 inches in the ass but it wasn't enough so I ordered some 4 inch blocks from speedway. I'm gonna put them in tomorrow. I...
I got real lucky! I was worried about the whole thing but the lady that hit me had Travelers Insurance and they were awesome! They took pictures and showed it to a couple people around town to find out how much it was worth. I didn't have any receipts and I didn't have to argue for anything...
