Research the threads on Pedders parts. Here is a good one about lowering.

I have the full Pedders Track II suspension, well worth the dollars.

mj duell - what is your current ride height? You have the 2954 front and 2955 rear correct?

Yes, 2954 and 2955. The rear fender lip is very close to the wheel. The tire will clear the lip under light or medium bumps, but large bumps like speed bumps will rub, but not do any damage because the tire will slide by the fender just slightly rubbing. I have done this twice in the last 2000 miles since I got the Pedders stuff. It is really just to close with the Breytons by 2-5 mm. Trim the inner well lip by 1/4 inch and there is plenty of room. I have read that the other pedder "raked" springs do not give you any rub, I like these better however. Now my ride height is around 4 inches maybe a little more, never measured it.

Do you think shaving another 3mm off of the wheels would give the proper offset to keep from rubbing at all? Also... What width are your front and rear wheels/tires? Do you have wider rears or are the the same all around?

My wheels and tires are the same width and size all the way around. I'm running 8.5 inch width with 245's. 4mm would probably do it. I have also heard that increasing the negative camber will help, but I wanted to stay close to Pedders alignment specs.
