Since I couldn't find a whole lot of before and after pics for the gold standard of lowering the FD (if not going Coilovers) I figured I would share with the board and other owners out there what my car looked like prior to and after the drop. Overall the drop was just over 1.25" both in front and back. I have 18" Rims with no wheel rub even under hard cornering.

Here is the standard Baja 4x4 look with 18's prior to the drop:


Here is the car after the drop:




I have my Tokicos set to 5 in front and 4 in the rear and it handles GREAT.
I just need to take the car in for an alignment, and camber, toe in etc per Howard Colemans setup recommendations and I will be set.

Looks great. Bust out that tape measure and measure the distance between the ground and the fender lip and overall diameter of your wheels/tires.
