Lou, it will be interesting to see how the new rear springs turn out. I had read on previous post where guys said that the 225 lbers were just about perfect for the rear of a B&B. I was thinking if going with the 225s you might have to go to 9" to keep from running out of adjustment. Let us know how it turns out.

Wayne, good to hear from you again. Hope all is well. Thanks for the post. I bought spacers for the front springs which worked out really well as I was getting close to running out of adjustment. I'll have to do the same for the rear if it comes to that. I'll let you know.
I'll tell you what, I broke the mold on running the same or close to the same diameter tires on these cars. I went with Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR 28 dia. on the rears. Man does it look great. It fills the well nice and with the bigger sidewall looks mean. The fronts are 26dia. The tires have really good grip and don't catch stones with the flame tread.
