    ss springs and lowering blocks will do it fine.................  :ylsuper:   the front spring hangers on the 3/4 relo kit have an upper and lower hole for ride height...... just adjust the torsion bars to bring the front up :working:

    measure the tire size & to the top of the wheel well , tell Espo how high you need the rear to sit , they should be able to get very close

    Mopar never specified a rear ride height, just the front.

    Set it where you like it. Espo +1 springs will bolt into the stock locations. SS springs will require a new front hanger.
