    14" is the rim size, tire diameter can make a difference.

    i just didnt think having a rim thats a half inch wider on the back would make a noticable difrance in lifting the rear.

    its probably going to be easier to get the rear up a little. new leaf springs with an extra leaf should do the trick. droping the front is a little more "involved" if you want to do it right

    cutting a coil off the front will do the job. 4 leaf springs will stiffen the ride...ask me how i know :rolleyes:

    205/70 on front,225/70 on rear.Clamp two of the front coils together,will lower the front about 2".BTW,those tires are on 14x6 & 14x7 magnums.

    Hi Kurt,

    I haven't had a repsonse from you through the PM's I've been sending, so I didn't know if they were going through. Its been several months since I paid you for the spoiler and was wondering if you have an idea when you would be sending it. Thanks, Bob
