rear springs
« on: August 21, 2018, 06:25:37 PM »
Photos of my new 2inch lift above stock purchased from spring company, did not take photo of original, but fender came to top of wheel.  Looks like about a 4inch lift from original springs.

That is hard on the neck! Is there a reason you want the car to sit so high?

I think it may have been the era I grew up in, who's not to like 12 inch spring shackles, always heard got better gas mileage, going down hill all the time. just joking but I think its about right for me.  I installed GT spring in my mustang 15 yrs ago or about, I think it may set higher also.  Is there a way to preview photos before posting.  Thanks to all.

If you click on the image to enlarge it, after it enlarges right click on the picture and hit "view image". It'll come up normal side up then.

My rule for the rear of the Fairlane is always 'No tyre showing between wheel & lip'. :)
