Long tubes scraping
Anybody have any suggestions before I have to go back to stock height? I can't even pull into my driveway without the headers scraping. I'm thinking I may have to go back to stock height.

Sounds like the only option, we all know no one wants to touch the headers again after they have put them on haha. Either that or go Monster truck style and take off the trunk lid and say you have a truck with a shorty bed

LOL! Only option seems to be coil overs so I can still get the stiffer spring rate or going back to stock height. I really don't want stock springs, but ATM, can't afford coil overs :-/

BBK's have no scraping issues at all, how much of a rise is your driveway?

Yikes that suck man, sorry to hear after all that work you are having issues with clearance. Hope everything is resolved quickly. Let me know if you need stock springs.
