Came across the "Red Neck Lift"...... Love it.... Martin

Captured this image of the wear on the brake mounts, probably nothing compared to the rust belt guys but it was enough to cause some pretty uneven brake wear. Maybe a touch with a grinder would have done the trick but lacking any sort of min/max spec on the clearance I went with the replacement...

Order a set Bilstein shocks from my favorite supplier, didn't pay much attention to asking for the Wagon version tho I thought I had, regardless... ended up with a set of sedan rears. Went to put them in and "what the heck?" ;-) I've hear mention of the Bilstein's wagon version only being...
