I am interested in putting these 2.75 drop extentions in the rear of my 67 vert. I plan on running 17x7 wheels with 205/40/17 on the drum brakes. Will I have any clearance issue?

Don't waste your time with these. Buy the lowered springplates from JerFab and be done with it.

I've been running a pair for going on two years now with no problems. I can't compare them to other forms or lowering as I have not tried them, but I can say I have had no problems with this form. The only thing I did (see pic.) was to drill a hole through the arm to run my emergency cables through. I think it boils down to a personal choice as with most things in life.

anybody ever get these for IRS? Seems that not many manufacturers acknowledge the needs of the very few IRS fans out there. I really just need dimensions off the plates so i can make a pair or 2. PM me if you can help.

thanks.
