Still wasn't flexed out there, I haven't had it to the point that its almost picked up a tire yet. I can barely unseat the coils though, I have done that once.

4.5" coils with 32" tires. Rustys lowers and stock uppers.

Daily driver drives like a caddy, and flexs like that loser that spends 23 hours at the gym
