Re: Lowering My Car Question You should go to the eagle wheel website to try and find the width of your wheel. For a 275 they should be atleast 9" but that does not stop some people from using smaller widths.
I would reccomend lowering your car between 1" and 1.5". 1" if you plan to add LT headers 1.5 if you do not.
I am running hypercoil springs with Bilstein shocks and I love my setup. Definately replace your shocks and springs at the same time. It is also a good idea to go ahead and buy an Adj. Panhard Rod and maybe some relocation brackets to correct your rear suspension geometry after the drop.
All IMHO
