Looks good! Nice work on the bob! Did I miss how you said you were lifting the front? Sorry if I did. Is the front sitting level? As in not tilting to the right when looking at it? Or did you compensate for the 3/8'' height difference?

too late i already did a quarter panel just 5 mins ago heheh
edit i'm sure ill still manage to keep it lookin like a pos tho
and yeah my dd has the lights on top they stick out in a parking lot real well its convinient. like a redneck panic button
you need to get a beefy bracket and weld a plate with some nuts to the inside of the quarter panel
