Ok, So I know everyone likes "lowriders" but sometimes I like "skyriders"

This mod goes basically the same as the truck bumpsteer fix. It will give you a "rally" look and raise the car about 4mm. and combine this with the evo suspension lift from RS for the ultimate package. EDIT: I have added some pics
Materials:
-Flush Cutter or equivalent
-CA glue (super glue)
-EVO Truck long suspension screws (2 or 4 or 6; The new evos have long screws on the tierod, if you do not then you must get some in place of them)
-1 or 2 springs (doesn't matter color; 2 or 4 depending on if you want to do the F&R)
-Screwdriver
-1 extra tierod aside from the one on the car (stock recommended)
-File or sand paper

Here is what I was looking for



Instructions:
Front:
1. Remove the tie rod and the tie rod cover.
2. Remove the top knuckle screws
3. Remove the front body clip and front springs (optional but makes it easier to work)
4.Take one of the tierods and cut along the corner where it bends (below)

5. Now take your other tierod and cut the ends off of it (below)

6. Now take both tierods and some CA glue and glue the holes you cut off in step 4 and lay on top of the tierod you cut in step 5. Let that dry and make sure that they are alined very straight and close to stock so you make sure that there is no camber or problems.




7. Now while that is drying take your springs and cut them in half.
8. Take the long screws and a spring and insert them into the knuckle as shown in the pic below from the evo truck bump steer fix tut.
I know this pic is screwed up and I don't know why
9. Now do the second knuckle the same and cut the tierod cover so as not to interfere with the new tierod. You can sand down the edges if you wish



10. Now put the tierod back in followed by the tierod cover.
11.This step is totally optional but required if you have a scion and wish to use the stock springs aswell. Trim the edges of the front body clip on the other side of the screw holes.
12. If you wish you can put the stock springs back in followed by the body clip.

That's it...Your done.
Although I would recommend doing this to the rear to balance things out. The rear should be easy...disassemble, insert spring and long screw, put back together!
Now you should have raised ground clearance and a "rally" style chassis geometry.

For the ultimate lift, put some truck tires on it, I did and it was awesome and i didn't even need to trim the body. (on a scion)

Almost 1 inch of clearance


Here is a descent comparison...
