[Tigers] Coil over shocks?

[Jay Laifman]

Why?  Are you putting in larger diameter wheels?  Might look quite a bit odd.  And similar sized wheels in front would hit when turning.

Adjustable coil over shocks (where you can raise the ride height) will pre-load the leaf springs and, in my opinion, result in a harsh ride and possibly some irrational behavior of the rear end. Fitment may also be an issue. Extended shackles may be your answer. 2 inches is quite a bit and I’m not a fan of longer shackles but it will raise the body. Maybe someone has had more experience with coil overs than I have. I use QA1 coil overs on my street rod with a 4 link set up.
