        Elias,

        I am currently looking @ the same tires for my blue car. The link goes to a store locator not the tire.

        What size are you getting?

        Do you know the back space and offset of the wheels?

        How thick are the spacers?

        Thanks,

        MM

                        I dont know why but I have always drove around in D and went into OD when I reach speed on the highways etc. Must have been how my father taught me.
                        Yep, this is also how I do it. I do not let my car go into OD unless it's 50mph or above or I know I'll be able to float along for at least a mile before it has to shift out. And if it shifts into OD, I'll baby the throttle to prevent it from downshifting if I can. The whole OD shift on these is pretty goofy as it is. It's not a bad thing to spin the engine, many a 302 was behind a three speed auto or manual trans and they lived just fine.

                                I know some of y’all seen them on ig and fb but for y’all that haven’t heres a few pics of the rear control arms from adtr. Half way done because of father day and work haven’t had time to finish but when I get out from work I should be done today.
                                Pic comparing original arms vs adtr arms
                                And smaller rear bar vs 1” bar
                                Also I need to figure out how these dam pictures can post right they always end up turning upside down or sideways
