Default Going with welds need specs on spacers

Im going to get a set of draglite. and run a 5/16" spacer in front with ARP studs. My qusetion is to minimize the grinding do you think a 1/2" spacer in the rear will help also?? I know you still have to grind but maybe not as much, a little less grinding will give me some peace of mind!!

Correction 5/16 spacer in front and what are you guys running in the rear to lessen the grinding?

Most run the same in the rear for less grinding but also alot of people say its not good to run spacers in the rear because of the tourqe stress on the studs.

make sure that that spacers that you get are specific for the f-body lug pattern, not the universal slotted ones. This will put less stress on the lugs. Plus thats the only way to pass spec depending on how strict they are.
