<div dir="auto">More info, The car has original springs, it has dropped down in the rear especially on my side , I think it's a weight issue. I've had 15 inch Panasport's on for some time with no isssues. And I had air shocks for awhile, harsher ride, looked good though! So, Mr King is probably wright new springs and a good new rear shock will keep that tire off my fender..<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Beau 9470951</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Jay Laifman</strong> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jay.laifman@gmail.com">jay.laifman@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Sep 19, 2018, 1:51 AM<br>Subject: Re: [Tigers] Coil over shocks?<br>To: Jim Buster <<a href="mailto:jbsyv@yahoo.com">jbsyv@yahoo.com</a>><br>Cc: Lance Beauchamp <<a href="mailto:blance598@gmail.com">blance598@gmail.com</a>>, <a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a> <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>><br></div><br><br>Why? Are you putting in larger diameter wheels? Might look quite a bit odd. And similar sized wheels in front would hit when turning. <br>

> I think coil over shocks in addition to leaf springs goes into the territory of ‘helper springs’. Usually for carrying a heavier load. 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. <br>
