Well I was hoping to avoid the stiff ride. I need to get a couple of inches of lift in the rear and I don't want to go with air shocks because they will ruin your upper shock mounts. I also considered the extended shackles but never liked that look. At least the super stocks will help me at the track. the springs I removed from the car were factory 340 6 leafs so I'm hoping that the ride won't be too much harsher.
