Default Lowering

Would it be better if i just lowered the front of my car with springs instead of the front and back because im afraid my exhaust will hang too low pacesetter long tub headers and a TSP Xrumbler, should i even bothering to just lower the front or would that not help?

How low do you want to go? Does the Xpipe already hang low? Does it go into true duals under the axle? Need more info.

If you go with a 1 inch lowering spring you should be ok with LT's.

Ok, let me put it like this, unless you are dragging your pipes across speed bumps now........then no don't lower it.

Like UNO99 said, 1 inch should be just fine.

If funds allow id try to the ground control coil over kit You can adjust how high or low you want the car to sit so you can set it up perfectly around your exhaust.
