I got the rear shocks on... and while I was at it I put a rubber "riser" threaded between the spring coills on the rear... I'll do the same tomorrow with the front coils. I can see a slight difference in the height of the rearend but not much. They were 1 1/2 to 2 inch (I call them stabilizer gaskets, they are split ring lifters which I am sure everybody has seen). I'll try these for a few days.. If they don't have much of a benefit, I'll take them off. I can't see where they are stretching the spring all that much and seemed to barely be in place when the car was jacked up.. They stayed put when I put the car down on the ground, so we'll see. My idea is to allow enough room for the bigger 235s and give me some added ground clearance... but I think the ground clearance is really negligible and probably can get away with not having that extra lift to clear the fender wells with the 235s. I plan offset center tires anyway, they are wider for the bead seat so I won't get (slanted in) sidewalls. That has happened to me before on another vehicle some time ago and I wore those tires out fairly quickly.
