You will need spacers for those wheels. The offset is to much. I wouldn't run spacers. But if you want them bad do it.

Our board vendors sell drop springs for about $100 pair. I got mine from GMCPaul. What are you planning to do with your old front springs?. I will be needing a set of small block stockers.
