i flipped the rear and cut 1 1/2 coils off. at stock hight the gap from the front wheel well to tire was about 4" and the rear about 7". after the flip and cutting 1 1/2 coils the front is not about a 1/2" gap and the rear tucks about 1/2". the hardest part was freeing up the rusted bolts. as far as ride quality goes, its not bad. the raer has 5 leafs and the overload so its fairly stiff and the front as a little softer then the rear.
