    After waiting almost 2 months I finally got my shock/spring mounting plates made. I cut these out of A36p&o on the laser at work. I had them bent at the same time. I had to clean up a couple of the holes a little because they puckered when we bent the tab for the shock mount. I also had to elongate the holes some because I didn't take into consideration that the new u-bolts are 3 1/8 on center, I had them cut 3" on center, duh on my part. I have to jack the car back up and shift the rear to the passenger side a little. The clearence was good till I pumped up the left front tire and the gap closed. The tires I have on the back are 245 14's, these are just rollers till I get a pair of 15" mopar steel wheels. Anybody have an idea on what tire size would work? I'm looking for ideas on what to get. I'm thinking of using a 185 or 195 but I don't want something that is to tall and defeat the purpose of using the lowering blocks. What have you guy's used on the rear of your fat fendered customs? Thanks later shawn
