Don't get the Moss kit. It is junk. It requires you to drill several
holes in the body to mount a bunch of brackets. I've heard a few
stories of these brackets ripping out over time. Get the one piece
tube shock brackets sold by NAR (www.narinc.com), Victoria British, and
others. It works great. I have no clearance problems, and am running
205/65-15 tires.
Get new springs. I bought a whole new set (front and rear) of stock
springs from TRF several years ago, and it made a great improvement.
