Finally broke down and bought my front coil overs from Speedway, ordered the 375lb springs ($25 off code
) Using tubular lower arms that were designed for stock coil springs and shocks. Removed the welded in stock coil springs mounts from the lower arms and installed the coilovers. That didn't work....couldn't get enough adjustment out of them and worried that I might need the heavier spring.
Today I removed the shock mounting brackets from "under" the control arms and welded them on the top..probably only about 1-1/2"higher..but the coil over are perfect and only used about 5 turns from the bottom to get my correct ride height.
Now I need to clean up the anti-seize..on my tools, me, my clothes..
