Im running 26x10 slicks with FE2 springs in the rear. I would like some more clearance between the outer guard and tyre. Wat springs are you guys using to get the ass higher?

the problem with the raised springs is the spring rate is to firm. Have you tried just original springs? they should be abit higher than th FE2's your using now and are still a soft spring.
