^^^^^^^^, but new springs would be the best.
 
That GTX just seems to shout "TRY ME!" At the very least "Beat me!" :lol: I know they don't do anything but always loved the looks of the traction bars on any Mopar. Maybe a little tighter up to the springs??

Thanks, the 255s are a little too narrow, it needs wider tires to give it more attitude, and more importantly traction!:steering:

I know about air shocks or add a leaf spring from a leaf spring builder. I was hoping for an easy spring over shock option.
 
I dont have the money. I was hoping for a spring over shock option?
In reality that is a poor choice on a stock mounting system. That upper shock mount was never designed to hold the weight of the car up. Granted people use air shocks and I have seen plenty of busted out mountings.
A decent coil over will cost as much as a leaf spring and you will still be taxing the mounts.
If you are on a broke budget just find some used leafs and add to what you have. You can do that for pennies.
 
well, I just ordered a pair of coil over shocks today.
so I will let you know this weekend how much it lifts it
