Depends on what you've got to work with. Easiest to do are tire cut and reversal. Also cutting the springs helps. If you've got a dremel or something of the sort you can do a tummy tuck as well as modd the body. Inboard the rear shocks for more flex. There's plenty to do.

Question
 
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to mount the battery after I do a tummy tuck. The body is shaped so you cant put it under the body. If anyone has any ideas please post...Thanks:mrgreen:

well it does say in some other threads but I'll be nice and tell you. lol. Most people put it under the hood between the body and the chassis. That does require some cutting though. Me, because I'm lazy I put it on the front bumper

I just cut the rear center cage support out and wedged it in there.
