It hits the rim. My only option was the 2 inch dropped coil springs. Yes they are nice quality and went in real easy. Cost from Summit with my racers discount was $135 plus shipping. I think dropped spendles run around $500 a pair so the springs were a better deal.

I'll know better once I get the sheet metal back on. But, yes so far they look like they are going to get the job done.

Drive train is all done, I'll have the wiring done tomorrow, carpet should be here in a couple days, all the sheet metal is on except for the doors. Still need to instal the glass and fuel cell. I'm using the Dakota fuel cell with the Hemi fuel pump installed in it. 7772492-image.jpg (518 downloads)
