Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just copy and pasting from the b-body forum..

Rims showed.. on my 62 (stock housing and location) i have 1.5" at the front of the rim which because of how the springs angle will be bout 1" at tire bulge which i'm sure won't be enough.. i'm figuring 1.5" bulge.. So i will prolly move the front of the spring into the frame like DVW does them and offset shackles, don't need to move the rear as much. Thinking of moving the front hangers into the frame maybe 1" though and boxing it nicely. I don't wanna go full in like mini tubing. Wheel lip area looks like it will be plenty of room..
Will need to get new perches and shackles.. wanna try to do it in the car so i can make sure it all fits perfect.. only thing i hate is cutting off the old perches while in the car..

BTW.. how much space do i want between tire/spring? 1" for side load/flex?
