Did you do the XV suspension yourself? Do you know how it was to measure and weld everything in place? And what kind or wheels did you get? where from? If you don't mind me asking.


Yeah, did it myself, it's actualy pretty straight forward. Measuring everything twice and tack it before welding, I put mine on the ground and jumped up and down in the trunk to check travel of shocks and panhardbar before welding. Had to make my own j-bar to clear my TTI 2.5" exhaust as the supplied bar was too short. The hard part is the swaybar. Those sleeves trough the framerail are hard to measure equal on four sides. Mine came alite close to the wheelhouse, so i had to grind the corners of the linkarms, but no biggie. I also did like gkring and moved the control arms 1" invards. I've not bought the wheels yet, but I hope to fit 335's on a 18x12 rim. Wanted Fikse's but the seem to have gone under, so I'm currently on a hunt for a wheeldesign i like. I like some of the Forgelines. I have a b-body rear end under my cuda so I have to measure the correct backspacing instead of just asking XV what they run.
