On the back I believe you can get an inch or so by flipping the front leaf mount over, but the mounting holes are offset when you flip them, also by doing this you will change the pinion angle. hope this answered your question.

Your ride quality will suffer as the low profile tires are hard.

As for the rear your better off picking up lowering blocks for the rear axle. They mount under the spring perches and come in lots of sizes...1, 2, 3, 4 inches etc. Brian 02 Chrysler Concorde Lxi 3.5 V6/A606 auto 87 Dodge Ram 360/auto 68 Chrysler T/C Station Wagon 440/auto The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
