my 72 2wd looked like crap with 31x10.5 x 15s on it.so i put a set of 7in ralleys and 255x60s on it and had to much space between fender and tire.so a friend of mine fires up torch{iknow not the correct way}we droppd front 2 1/2 and back 2 1/2 were going to drop back another 1-2 in later.this was a spur of the moment thing and will later be replaced with a correct drop kit.most time heating the springs will give you a rough ride.but this thing rides real nice and better than it has since i ve hade it.i couldnt believe how smooth it rides.
