Al I had to cut the snubber base to fit it, not the rubber but the Steel part.

Those springs look ok to me(ebay).  Good price too.
I have the MP XHD springs on mine and they sit flat like Kenny says.

Thanks for posting that picture. If I had even close to that much clearance , i wouldnt even need a snubber.   I checked the center of fender to floor on both front and rear for ride hieght. Mine was 23 inches in the front and 24 in the back. I adjusted the tq bars just a bit and raised it up some. I have 24 in the front now and 25 1/2 in the back, just from the adjustments. Helped some but you still cant dump the clutch without it bumping the shaft and yoke in the tunnel. I tried a speed shift about an hr ago. I took off without spinning, then floored it, then at 6500 I shifted quick to second and bang, it hit one time then shifted at 65 in 3rd and no bang, then run it up to 5 k with no vibrations. I didnt go any faster, I was already hitting around 105 on the speedo and didnt want to get noticed, so I slowed down.

The adjustment helped quite a bit. I only have 4 long leaves then a super short leaf on each. I dont think its enough myself. These are not performance leaves, and maybe I can install the new shocks when through, that will help a bit more too.

Waiting for Chryco to chime in. He saw my car and said it looked a little low to him. I believe he was right. It was close just getting the floor jack under the K member, no it goes under easy.

Thats pretty low, mine was like 24 all around with 25" F tall and 26" R tall tires.  I got some back with the tire change back to 15" rims with taller tires.

It was tight to get the jack under the front frame never mind the k-frame.
