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
John

Can i do this by myself? Where can i get some shims? I am putting in 3 inch coils and i know it will need an alignment. What can i use for a 1/2' spacer?

Malo, you sure those tires are 275/50R15? they look like mine, and mine are 265/50R15. 275's may rub a whole hell of alot being that low.
