Check Scoggin Dickey. Since you are out of state, you don't have to pay sales tax.

WillieloRidez · 05-10-2010, 12:31 PM

Ok guys after driving the crew for a couple months i got tired of it dragging everywhere so i raised it up a couple inches. Thanks too Anthony(classic87) i purchased a set of used stock springs and this time i only cut 3/4 of a coil. While i was in there i put new lower ball joints and a sway bar with all new bushings. My opinion is that it needs to come back down an inch. It rides pretty stiff in the front now so i dont know if i should cut the rest of the 1 coil off or not. What do you think?

WillieloRidez · 06-15-2010, 10:48 AM

Also on inner fenders i was told that 73-79 i think have a higher arch in them for tire clearence and will still bolt up to these body styles. Does anyone know if this true or have heard of this?

bharrison1 · 06-17-2010, 02:32 PM

Well i just happen to have both ill take a look at em and see if there is a difference

WillieloRidez · 06-17-2010, 05:49 PM

Cool thanks man

Matt Man · 06-21-2010, 12:26 AM

yea thats the problem im having dam inner fenders dont have to much clearence.

WillieloRidez · 06-23-2010, 12:20 PM

it thought about making some using trailer fenders but if the other ones have a higher arch ill go that route

bharrison1 · 06-25-2010, 10:01 AM

it looks like the older ones do have more clearance

WillieloRidez · 07-01-2010, 12:25 PM

Thanks Brandon that is what i will be buyin then

WillieloRidez · 07-08-2010, 12:28 PM
