I get a pretty good ride in the back of my van, too. ;)

I bet the ride in the rear of my Westy is better than the ride in the rear of
the SC!

With 5 spokes I had to run a spacer to make to wheel sit out more because of
thesnout on the hub.This cured the snout problem but cause the tire to be under
thelip in the wheel well.on a bump or when I had a passenger it would hit , to
cure(but with a slight raise in the height ) the coil-overs cured the problem,
ThenI put EMPI Sprint Stars .They have a bigger opening for the hub,so I
didn'tneed the spacer , With out the spacer it doesn't hit .I could roll with
outthe coil overs now but the ride is awesome.I usually run 145 up front
and165's on the rear , but have 165 x 4 now. I,ll put the ride of my truck
upagainst any ones for comfort of ride.Paul Smith H.B.B T.C.B Transporters at
