Jesse's strut bar installed

Well today Jesse brought over the ride to install the strut bar. Looks real good and stiffens up the ride pretty good too.




So easy a caveman can do it



And now I know I need to get the ride lowered Jesse's is almost 2 inches lower so thats my next mod. Look at the difference



Hey nice rims

thanks again for your help it feels a lot better

Any time my friend I think it went pretty well now I can do mine haha

That looks awesome!

Looking good Jesse. I ordered the Razors edge for Vortech. So I'll have a Mopar bar for sale shortly.

i have the vortech one too. had to get that to clear the airaid ram air scoop.

It looks pretty straight forward to install

Looks good fellas... thanks for the invite... Fuckers...

OK, gotta ask...

With all the crappy roads and potholes in this city/suburbs, how do you guys that run huge rims and/or lower the cars not worry about bottoming out or bending rims, or how do you avoid doing it?

honestly i worry most about scooping up dead animals haven't had any other worries...

you just don't hit stuff. I've had 20's on my truck for like 8 years. no problems. go slow over train tracks and don't hit potholes. don't hit curbs and stuff.

the rims i gave biggieboy were on my truck for like 4 years and the spin 100% true like they just came from the factory.

i honestly don't think big rims are for everyone and i have a lot of customers that can't avoid bending their normal sized rims. i don't understand how people hit all this stuff. wtf are they like on the phone and not watching the road all the time?

its just like the thread on the Z that is going right now where people are asking if there is anything they can add to the bottom of their SRT to stop catching the front end on curbs. i was like "don't pull over the fucking curb" and it got ignored.

Don't run over re-tread...... Jon can tell you how jacked my rim is.

Wow looks good Jessie,Oh and Dave,all you need to learn is to spot potholes earlier.That and once the rims are on,just take your time driving.I have 24's and the only small dent on my rims is the wife's fault. Other than that I have not hit anything

Many cars come from the factory lower than mine

I hear you on the wheel well gap...looks too big to me too.

you can get springs that lower your car from .75-2+ so its all on what your into. ive learned to take curbs and steep driveways different cause i know itll cost me

Congrats Jesse, it looks great. Now go clean that engine bay

looks great Jesse....

great job helping out vic!

Looks great Jesse! Congrats!!
