how to get more drop out of UAS????/

In the endless pursuit of being low, i find myself contemplating what i could to to get closer to earth....

Since having my rear fenders rolled to clear the 11" wheels (veeeeeerrryyyy vveerrryyy sketchily done by a "ahem, HW MOTORSPORTS") where the "expert" just semi mangled my fenders with a 1988 easton bat without even having the liners inside the rolled fenders thus leaving my tires still rubbing the liner anytime i ride semi dumped in the back, im removing my rear fender liners and having them sprayed with rhino liner to keep things quiet... thanks for the suggestion top motorsports

with the liners removed will i get even like 1/4 or 1/2" more laid out???? im on 35 series front and 30 series rears, and i know 30s up front will give me the appearance of a bit more dump, would it be advisable to go to 25s in the back???

on the extreme side of things, what would tubbing it run me, and what other options do those of us who desire more out of our drops have????????

Removing the plastic isn't going to do much for making it lower, the only way to get lower is to go into the metal or smaller tires.

I know its scary thinking of a "25" series, but because its say like a 295x25 the sidewall is almost the same as like a 255x30 and thats what you have seen on my car.

i dont know if your on 24s or not but you cant spell custom without CUT. if you want to be lower that the 99 percent of people with the bolt on UAS you gotta cut.. i have 22s with a 30 series and it lays out. you gotta cut out for the upper arm to come through in the front as well as cut to allow the tires to come up. the back needs to have some cut outs for the arms and new shocks. removing the plastic inner fenders wont do anything.

what he said^^^^ i removed both front and rears (inner splash guards) didn't notice a difference in drop. I even put the rears back on (due to wind resistance pushing out rear bumper) You wanna go lower, then you would have to cut..... William, your whip looks sick as fu** laying on 11's in the rear. Alot of people can't do that these days....

Has anyone ever cut into the metal to make it lower? If so can you post pics of how it was done and how much would it cost?

This is on jt's ride that he had hydraulics put on. Pretty sure the concept is the same. Cut the fender and weld in a piece to allow control arm more travel.

Did you do it yourself? Was it easy if you did? Can you take some pics of the work on the front and back. And maybe give a little instruction on how to? I want to lay out also!! I haven't seen any 300/magnums/chargers here locally where I live with bags. I see a bunch of them with 24's. I want to get mine lay'd out before someone here gets some bags and I want to be the 1st one here layin out and on 24's.

Sorry for all the questions.
