Rear spring location

[74swingerlover]

So I have reached at point where my 255/60r15's are not enough hookup to keep me happy. I live in the counrty and gravel roads are sometimes a part of life, So I cannot do slicks as they will get eaten up way to quick.

Are the spring relocation kits any good? How much wider of a tire can I get? What is the backspacing most people would go with? I have also seen springs put under the frame rails? Anyone done that? any tips?

I figure that with the springs under the frame rails I can get a 295 in there easy. with the inboard kit 315/325??

Dirt and gravel = no traction.

bigblockdart.com has a good tech section on the inboard kit.

Dirt and gravel = me cringing the whole 5 miles it takes to get to cement. My car is very unhappy about the whole ordeal.

no too worried about the traction while on gravel, I am just basically idling down the road till I get to cement/black top

usually about 3" with a spring relocation. they have Drag radials that arent slicks .
