there are a few ways to go about it too.
the way that Randode did his, that green xB back in 04 MiniTruckin had did it a diff way.
and I want to say that the guy with the black 2 door xB with 20s did his too.
its on my list of things to do along with a 4 link rear. | |

i havent seen anyone post about it (but i am sure it has been covered among friends with randode)............what would it cost someone to have this done to a box? now obviously it is something that takes time and money, but would you ever consider doing another one randode? if not, who would you suggest that might want to do this? thanks | |

That first pic of the silver one looks scary as hell.
I'm soon to do this once I find a daily driver.
Shouldn't be too hard.
Just finished a traditional 3 inch body drop on isuzu. | |
