I would suggest a drop first, becuase you would rather ride low with whatever wheel/tire combo at the time than drive a pseudo lifted box :smile:

Or you can just throw the money in a savings account that isnt connected to overdraft protection and that way you dont touch it until you have enough to get what you want

Drop it then wheels. That way you know how big or small to go on wheels and tires.

Well said, I admit I suck at saving money...but still, drop it first. Just think you could always just put beauty rings on the steel wheels cheap and have what looks like rims as you cruise down the hwy's :P

I know u got the springs, but wheels first and after u put them on HEAT the springs. that way u get 2 for the price of 1. Then after a month or so, buy your springs and there u have it! That's what I did. Wasn't bouncy either. :P

Nice! I rode around lowered with hupcaps for about 7 months before I got enough cash to get wheels.
