Kendall...
So far there hasn't been any concensus in this matter.
I understand about the late cross member and it's spacers. But,
what I don't understand is why you cannot (apparently) just replace
the stock springs with the Moss 550lb springs which are advertised
to lower rubber bumper cars two inches.
I'd sure like to hear from someone who has first hand knowledge.
Surely if Moss sells them someone has tried them.
