Smile Another Spring question

If i went with the w code springs up front what would be the best fit for the rear I want to keep the same rake with the rear up higher Thanks!!!

Also if i went with the v/b Swap and 3.5 tapered blocks (with or with out the spring mod) in the rear will it keep the factory rake with the rear up higher thanks again

A few options are available.

If you tow, you might wanna consider B codes, stock block, and RAS.

Or, you can go with stock block and modified B's along with the W's. This version might be closer to level, as opposed to the stance you want, with the rear slightly higher.

You can also go with the 3.5" tapered block and modified B's. But this might give you more rake than you want.

You might wanna also try no block, modified B's, and the RAS. Dunno how you would sit, but you can try and and let us know!!

As for your second question, yes on both parts.
