I took my front wheels off form less weight on the bars and placed jack stands on the frame,.... not on the suspension parts.

Before messing with the bolts,simply mark the threads with white-out or any marker so you know where it was just in case. Turn clockwise to tighten(raise) and counter clockwise to loosen(lower).    After said and done,take it in for re-alignment.

I use a  3/2 drop kit.   It should look good on your AV with those big wheels.  Is not leveled out but its close.

Thanx man :winkani:

If you decide to lower the front (im sure you will),i suggest you install spindles and not to mess with the keys.  The ride is much better with the 2" drop spindles.
