Shocks don't set ride height ... springs do. Bob -------------------------------- Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA ----- Original Message ----- I just recently got my BT7 Healey back on the road. The tires I selected are Vredstein 185 x 70 x 15". A very aggressive tire tread and quite stout. The trouble arises when I drive it. If I hit a bump, I get tire rub on the inside of the front fenders. I know several solutions would be, buy a set of 165 or 175 x70 x15 In short down size. Another would be to increase the body height by 1" inch or 2" by adding what? Shock absorbers, add a leaf to rear , redo the entire system and raise the body with new more modern shocks. Is there any way of adjusting the front British standard shocks?
