Why not!?!
Why not... I just am afraid of ides that try to get too low. If u're ever out somewhere & they malfunction... u're in big trouble & I've seen it happen.

I say go for it... Like dude said, if you do it properly, things won't go wrong... And buy quality stuff... If you need help finding sites to get stuff I got you covered down to the air line...

Either way you're gonna have to run a 4 link or 3 link or 6 link or a 2 link with a panhard bar or reverse 4 link, cantilever setup, 2 forward 2 reverse setup.... Theres 101 different ways to run a link setup... My FAVORITE, is a 4 link w/ the bags placed on the lower link bars... I HIGHLY recommend Slam Specialties bags... For a car like that, you could probably get away with running an re-7 or re-8 depending on how much lift you want.

Now you guys have me thinking about some kind of fail-safe to block extended travel when wanted. I really don't want to drop my front end into the pavement at 70 mph. It's a long ways off in my build, but I'll prolly give it some thought when my brain is idle.

bags
orange crush is bagged in the rear, and i also ran air shocks as a back up, my onboard compressor has a fitting to connect and airhose to it (for flats or to add air to the airshocks should something happen) the only thing i am going to carry also is one of those cheap tire inflaters you plug into your lighter incase compressor fails. dp1
