    Thanks! It's not on the level of some of these other Mavs on here, but I think it's a pretty decent driver.

    After looking at your photos....................I'd lower the front about 2" as the back looks good. Raising the back will make it look like a 4whl drive plus ruin the handling as has been mentioned..................IMHO

    I agree with olerodder cut the front coils and leave the rear at that height. I bought 4 leaf springs from Laurel Mountain Mustang, They were 169.00 plus shipping (about 35.00) The height is good but the rate is not firm enough Im going with Drews plan and hit my local yard and "tune up my new springs" If you cut the coils you have it will give you an idea how it works and if your going to replace them anyway......
