WOWWWWW! im glad i called the dealer back! He told me "you might have to roll the front fender back". Holy $hit, I told him i had Sprint springs and he said "I didnt know you had those springs, they will rub in the front most likely". Anyway, HE CVHANGED IT TO 8.5 FRONT WITH 23 OFFSET AND HIGH PAD. and kept the 24 offset rear at 10.5. the front he said is a HIGH PAD and the rear is a LOW PAD.
I actually get a bigger lip on the front than the old 9.5 originally orederd. he said the lip is bigger since the offset and size is smaller, it will not rub or have to roll the fenders and on top of it all, ITS 30 DOLLARS CHEAPER.
BUHHHYA! RX I guess the type of spring does make a diff. TAKE NOTE!
THIS FORUM ROCKS!

i wanted polished all around but i would have had to wait months so i went with their mercury silver/polished set. i think they have 2-3 sets left before back order. call them and find out. they are the best deal around though. RX
