There are more pics tp the thread if you need to look more, the first are unsettled springs and the later ones are, as you can see I usually scrape at the top of the driveway.

a lot of fender rolling and beating with a mallet....
the rears were tough. in addition to rolling the fenders I had to use the camber kit i installed
to dial in more negative camber to allow the wheels and tires
to clear.
NOW.......THAT'S CLASSIC !!!! THUMBS UP !!!! GOOD JOB FED...
