I got a 1984 Regal lookin 2 put sum 28s Mayb 30s on it. I really don’t like the tuck or donk look I just want it to Mayb sit almost flush with tha frame Mayb 2-3 inches of space between fenders and top of tire. Ima b using tires wit basically no sidewall. I was just wondering what are sum methods to go about liftin it ? Besides the universalcarlift 7inch lift kit. But If it comes down 2 it I’ll just go that route.

I have no idea how to put big rims on cars. 20s are big rims to me lol. Im Just trying to help. Research on here and google. If you want the body sitting above the wheels it shouldn't be too much fab work. Good luck on your journey.

If it were me I'd try to get my lift using spindles in the front like they have available from Southside machine (who posted just above me) and try to avoid using tall springs. That way you can keep something close to correct/stock suspension and steering geometry. Getting a couple inches of lift in the back should be straightforward, just some taller springs and extended brake hoses all around should be basically all you need but adjustable arms/links would probably be a good idea so you can adjust your pinion angle easily to avoid wearing or binding in your driveshaft U joints.

I thought the lifted big wheel look had died out a few years ago... Guess I was wrong.
