Question Need to lift the rear, what spring???????

I'm currently running the Pro Kit and want to lift the rear so I can fit a taller tire. A 27 or 28 would be my choice. Any suggestions to what springs, other than stockers? How tall is a regualr 275/40/17?

275/40/17 is about 26

if you dont want stock springs then you can get a spring spacer
its just like that rubber thing ontop of your rear spring now but its more then an inch taller

that will help you out i think part number 720-1287

what springs do you have now? I think something with a 1" drop like BMR might work.

I'm in the same boat as you man. As soon as I get some time I'm going to install my stock springs back on the rear and do the hose mod.

Eibach makes drag launch springs, and I think it raises the car up also from what I hear, you may want to look into those.

I had a buddy who put em on his mustang and he claimed that raised the car a little, so that's why I was saying that I thought they raised the car a little
