    Wow! That's really low!! I don't think taller coils will change that relationship with the wheel - the A-arms operate in a parallelogram so those end points are pretty well fixed other than swinging in a bit of an arc with spring travel. An easy way to see is to put a floor jack under that center crossmember and raise it an inch or two to see what it does to your A-arm to wheel clearance. Be careful though, or you may pop the zirk off when you hit a bump and work the suspension. I have one fitting on my I-beam axle that I leave a plug in normally, and install a zirk only when I'm greasing things.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
