Default lowering my "95" I need some help

I got the kit from mid america. I've got the front spring out. I have begun removing the rubber blocks from the spring. I see the wedges that came with the kit. it doesn't like i will get much of a lowered stance with the wedge that is to replace the rubber block? did anyone not use the wedge and just put it back together with none at all? It is only 1/2 an inch difference from the stock rubber block and the wedge supplied in the kit. all suggestions welcome. thanks

You might as well put in the wedges I tried it both ways and there was no diff so I elected to put them back in so it would ride on the poly instead of the spring. :cheers:

I did not use the wedges. I simply left them off. It gets you another ~1/4-1/2" lower. If you want it even lower, you can remove the other pads from the tips ofthe spring/mounting positions. Some have quite a bit of extra height because of the ends.If you leave the wedges off, it is really low.
