My car now has 3800lb SS springs and the longer front hangers. What size slick should fit? There is a 27x10.5x15 Phoenix pair and a 10"x27" tall M&H pair for sale locally. The motor is a 383 and should run high 12s I'm not trying to win it's a fun event. Here's how it sets with the SS springs and 27" MT street tires. Thanks Don 6737590-65sm.jpg (93 downloads)

The fronts weigh like 4lbs! the rear have MT almost new tires so maybe some street time? 383man Ron... VERY nice 63! I will get a set of torque thrusts for the front. Hopefully my Challenger will sell and I can start my hemi build!.. Thanks guys.... Last edited by doncarson; 07/22/11 10:30 AM.
