Control Arms. I actually saw a Fox GT the other day with deep dish Bullets on it and he said that the only thing needed was a spacer. It is not lowered and not tubbed at all. Only a five lug conversion. I thought it was interesting. I havent seen moving yet though.

haha im a dumbass.... well im thinking 10.5 inch FR500s and i want to be safe. i have no problem mini tubbing it, so just removing the quad shock and slapping on some good Control Arms will set me right up? i dont want any rubbing. but i think the 10.5 inch rears would look mean on a fox[8D]

It does look pretty nasty on a fox. The car I saw it on had 315 Nitto 555R's on it. Good Choice on the wheels. FR500's look nutty on a fox.
