Got any before/after pics of the wheel wells?
Yes. Here's a quickie I just shot. The tires are oversize.. The front was dropped by only one half inch. Since this was an Edge, I just cranked the front torsion bars down. Forum members advised me that if I went lower I would need new shocks, keys, as well as an alignment.
I removed the 2 inch lift blocks under the rear axel and replaced them with one inch blocks.
The difference is subtle but gets rid of
that look. You've seen
that look before: all well, no wheel.
There is a pleasant small change in ride and handling. My little 3.0 has a little extra power. It has been upgraded just a little with a KC high flow air filter, electric fan, and dual exhausts. Clamping the leaf springs and lowering together reduced axel wrap, firmed up the rear, eliminated wheel hop, and reduced sway. Some members have installed traction bars or installed upgraded sway bars, but these changes cost less.
I would have not bothered, except I removed the bed anyway in order to paint the frame. The bed need not be removed, but it helps. Some recommend that the shock absorbers should be disconnected in order to prevent hyperextending them. I didn't bother. They did just fine. Mine are factory shocks, twenty years old, still hanging in there.
The second photo is from before.
