Does it crank?, Does it smoke or is it obnoxiousley loud?(dude i know has an ls sounnds like it's cammed out.. it's not), How much oil is it in, break fluids, tire pressure, carfax (not car fox), does it shift smooth or hard, and after that follow the 'i can't see my paintjob' lyrics from the jawga boys

Also check for any coolant leaks. Especially from around the water pump and the lower intake manifold if you are able to see it. Make sure the gas guage works, no check engine lights, and uhmm thats about all I can think about.


EDIT: LAWLZZZ at that song^^^ I'ma have to download it and bump it hahahahaha.

There's a few options to drop it...

Spindles up front, blocks in the rear, 2" up front 4" out back... or you can also do spindles and springs up front, giving you 4" of drop, and then lowering leafs and do a 4/6 (you may want a C-notch at this height though...)
