Increasing ground clearance springs and oil pan?
Hello, I would like to increase the ground clearance on my year 2000 B&B cobra.
The front springs has spacers in it from the original owner. (do they compress in 'only' 17 years ?) I'm OK with sacrificing some good looks to get additional clearance. Do I need new taller / stronger springs ?
My 8 qt oil pan is 6.5 inches deep in front and 7.5 inches deep in the rear. Are there other 6 qt or more oil pans that would provide more ground clearance and also be OK with my 4 or 4.25 inch stroke ?
Let me know what you think I should consider.
Thank you, George
