Well, I guess that's why we share opinions.  I put those springs on my
87 tintop last spring.  It sits now at 17 3/4" and I thought the ride
improved.  Then I followed with 16" wheels and traded my 27x8.5/14
Grabbers for 215x65/16 Goodyears and the ride got even mo' betta.  All
this stuff works together, I wouldn't lay it all on the springs.
