    At the top right in the Search box type "Aerostar springs" you will find a wealth of info there as well as before and after pictures and how to's and part numbers and suppliers. DO NOT deal with JAMCO! If you Google "JAMCO complaints" you will be reading for hours on end.

    Hey 54.when you ask about front blocks are you talking about lower control arm modification?spacer blocks? I'm cutting my rivets and drilling into a 1" steel block to lower the bottom spring pocket..I considered welding it in but it would ruin the parts to put them back to stock later if I wanted.
     
  5. Modest , when you space the spring pocket down from the lower arm you might want to double check your "scrubline" . briefly what this means is : If you get a flat tyre ( Sorry guys - "Tire" - Dam Kiwi's! ) will the spring pocket contact the road ? I don't need to explain what sort of issues that will cause do I . ;)

    One inch gives me a little room still to work with plus ive yet to get a flat that left the rim entirely.i suppose its possible but the odds are so remote.i more worry about things like who will give me a jump start with 6 volt!! Haha
