What springs are under the car now? I had Super Stock springs under mine since about 1985 or so. I got tired of the rear end being so high and having to crank the torsion bars up to level things out. I put the stock leaf springs back under it and lowered the front with the torsion bars. There is nearly a 2" height difference between the 245/45 17 front and the 295/45 18 rear. Lower the rear as much as you can ( without rubbing) to "swallow" the 295's upper sidewall. This will help give it a more modest stance.

I go tthese at Xmas time and only now got around to putting them on. The wife refused to go on any rides with me because she said the car looked like an old man shoukd be driving it.  For you mopar purist I still have the steelies and will probably go back and forth between these and them.

Let me know your thoughts.

btw....they are Boyd Codington JYDs and are 18" rear and 17" front
