    5" 550lb springs up front - Will I be OK?

    Self explanatory - running 225/50/16 (yes it's oversized)

    Upgrading from 450 rate up front, 550 rear to 550/750

      Why not swap front and rear tires? Looks like you have 521's(?) which means you're probably running 16x8 et20 all around.

      What struts are you running up front? Were the strut housings modified? To what degree where they modified?

      You're a terrible first poster.

        I just wanted to make sure there was no glaring warning against it - I believe I will be able to adjust ride height sufficiently to avoid rubbing (or will end up with cut fenders, meh).

            KYBs, and the perches are ground but the adjusters sit on the stock perch location.
