The problem is, that a lot fo people lowering T-3, are cutting off the
factory stops. Now, the only thing stopping the travel is the pavement
or the fender well.
Or, they put little bitty tires on to keep them from rubbing, and now
they have a little bitty patch of rubber in contact with the road and
have lost all their braking abillity.
