    All this talk about rear ends...

    Got me wondering about my '65 GT fastback. With stock rear leaf set I measure 14" from the top of the lip to the center of the wheel. I have about an inch and half of dead air space above my 215/60R15. Suggestions? I also counted four leaves from the center of the axle. Ideally I would like to match the front which is at 12" from the lip to the center of the wheel. I forgot to add I have traction masters also.
    Thanks!

    Will,

    I just put 4.5 mid-eye leafs on mine. The rear measures 12.5 inches from lip to center on wheel.

    I'm not sure. They are Grab-A-Tracks.
