Next Phase of my Mopar Life
The reason I installed the 1/2" offset kit was because I only had 5/16" clearance between the springs and my rear tires.
I threw a tape measure on it today, and now I have 1 5/16" clearance?!?!
I had completely forgotten that the 8.25 rear end was one inch narrower than the 8.75. I gained 1/2" clearance from using the new rear end and another 1/2" from the offset spring kit, for a total gain of 1". It also pushed the rear tires out and that's what caught my eye and got me thinking. It's amazing that the human eye can perceive a 1/2" difference and the brain can recognize the change.
