Re: '71 Burb "Earl" suspension

Responses in the Suspension forum say 15x8s will rub on the lower control arm with a 2.5" spindle, but a 2" spring (or one coil cut) will be good to go and can use the Bilsteins as-is. 2" rear blocks seem like the way to go, except that CPPs website says something along the lines of a 2" block isn't recommended with a 15" wheel... hmmm...

Rust control and some performance upgrades will be tops on the list for when we get back to PA, so I have some time to figure out the rest of the suspension build. But I think front springs, rear blocks, adjustable panhard bar, and new poly trailing arm bushings will sit just right.

Thanks for the encouragement!
