    welcome to GMN. i hope you plan on upgrading your brakes before you put those big ass wheels on. those fuckers are heavy especially going from 15-17" to 24-26". you're stock brakes will probably are going to have a harder time of stopping the car due to all the added weight

          Har har, guys...

          Welcome to GMN! I understand that you wanna do this... and of course, diffrent strokes for diffrent folks... as far as lifting the front end, you could either get custom coils, use extenders to lift the curect coils (not recomended) or
          "block" the front springs similar to the way they do with leaf springs(never tried it, dunno if I would)

          Either way. Its all about the cars... Let us know if you have any problems, we are happy to help!

          Also, got pics?

                I have these on the front of mine never popped out even when landing 3 foot of air. Corkscrew things from autozone like 5 bux

                I also removed the upper bumpstops on the suspension arms Up top.

                I do know you will need a wheel spacer and all of em around here have body lifts to clear em. I suggest you find a place to the same as it looks about the only way to go

                    i personally wouldnt go that big because from all the cars i've seen you have to jack it up some to get rims that large on. i think the high riding panthers look very very ugly.

                    thats just me though. if its your thing, go all the way with it and get the nicest thing you can.
