Heres mine, 225-70-14s on the rear. I believe they are stock springs bt theres some funky coil over shocks on it.
I have standard shocks (kyb) on mine and it looks like I have about an inch from the top of the rim to the wheel well. Yours is sitting about an inch higher than mine is. Anything else in the suspension cause this?

He's got coil over shocks mine does too, sits lower than his, but my springs are worn out. Standard shocks on the will drop it an inch or so.
I hope it drops an inch with regular shocks. I think it sit a little to high myself. Yous sits perfect.

I have about an inch or so of tire showing above the top of the rim on mine, so I guess it kind of looks like yours. Maybe I am just used to looking at my jeep too much?

I like a little rake to a Dart. I think maybe I am too used to how my 'Cuda looks and the Jeep I have of course it jacked up.

I talked to ESPO about re-arching the springs which they will do for free, but shipping will be over 100 bucks. Am I better off trying the coil over shocks to get that inch or so back or have them re-arch the springs?

My 68 is 23.5 with 26" tires and I believe SS springs.
oops it has adjustable shackles and it's in the 3rd hole so that probably put's it up higher too, also Competition engineering adjustable shock's.

Adam,
Yours will drop at least an inch when you get the bumper etc. installed and have 150 lbs of fuel in your tank.
