Rc 415 thanks for the help , gonna give it a try and see if I can get the ball rolling

SaskC10 the old style kit is what they used to lower the front before Spindles which was replacing the top 2 A arm bolts to longer ones and then a 1/2" spacer is placed behind the shims to kick out the top of the tire so you don't get that bowed in look when they cut the 2 coils off, and it rides nice with the coils cut, it's been this way for the last 23 years with no problems
