Hey Bruce, with such a tall tire and that much torque of the 572, it would be a good investment in looking at a set of Caltracs maybe ? That would help prevent spring bind up and twist on acceleration mate :2thumbs: RzeroB had a good point :ylsuper:

hey thx, the tires are 28" and yeah could add a spacer between the rear and the springs, I have about 1" clearance on both sides of the tires. ill have to wait till I get it on the ground and see. the car has an adjustable front hanger all ready. I might be worrying about nothing. thx mizzouRT,  the truck is awesome to drive around pretty cool body style.  thx bruce

yeah hemiken, mizzouRT for sure has a good point . the s/stock springs are pretty stiff looking so maybe a softer spring and some  cal-tracs would be an option hard to tell right now for sure.  thx bruce

I am thinking CalTracs would be the ticket, just get a spring works to reset your super stock springs and clamp them once you have worked out ride height, can not wait to see the Dana in the bum :woohoo: talk about one tough mutha :clapping:

What about matching the same red as your interior?  :dunno:  Just a thought? Photoshop?

I wonder how difficult it would be to get some red sheet vinyl and make a temporary vinyl bumblebee stripe that you could slap on there and see how much you like it. Doesn't have to be perfect but it would give you a pretty good 3-D idea of what it will look like before you start shooting paint. :dunno:
