Ride Height

Need new springs on my 90 fox 5.0(81000 KMS), do the FMS "B" spring give the minimum amount of "lowered" stance there is and by how much? As much as I like the look of a lowered fox, I would like to retain that stock ride height as much as possible(4x4 look.please no flaming..lol). I now have 17" rims w/275 40 17 rear and 245 45 17 front and test fitted ok. Also, it has the infamous lean on the drivers side, would the new springs correct this? My shocks are original and not leaking and still rides pretty good for stock. Any comments and advice please....sorry for my ignorance..lol

I believe the "b" springs give about a 1.25" drop in ride height. Yes, a new set of springs should correct the lean you describe. If you want to retain the stock ride height, why not just use stock replacements?

Thanks, are the "A" springs from FMS(if they exist) have a stiffer spring rate but still stock height? Or is that the factory stock replacements?

Just purchased the M5300"B" spring kit(4 springs), does $189.00 plus $20.00 delivery charge sound about right? Ordered them through Erinwood Ford.

That's a good price, you should be happy with the Bs.
