30" in the rear?
Just finished my dual Spal install today, and am ready for the next project. My ride height is 29.5" up front and 30" in back..... terrible. I'm thinking I want something like 26.5 up front, and 27 in back. Will 10" bolts for the rear bring me down enough?
Thanks

Do you have room (tire clearance) for a 3" drop? 10" bolts on the rear will definitely allow you to drop it a bunch but the front isn't going to drop without cutting or replacing it's springs also. BTW, giving body height dimensions is useless unless tire size is also included.

I've got a new 7 leaf steel spring in back with 8" bolts. For wheels, I've got 17x8 TTII's. Cant remember the tire size off the top of my head. For the font, I plan on cutting the springs, I was just worried about the rear, if the 10's will bring me down enough. After much looking at the tires and fenders, my father and I have decided that 26.5 in the front, and 27 in the back will be good, and should clear the fenders just fine.
Thanks for the help
