Help needed to get the right stance

[pcarlson]

I'm taking the car in to get new rear leaf springs soon, and I figured that it would be a good time to address a few other things such as the stance.

The first question I have is if it would be a good idea to just replace all the shocks? The front suspension is all new and now I'll have new leafs so I kind of want to get everything on the same page.

As far as the stance goes... I am looking to get somewhere close to this although not quite as high in the back. I also don't think I will do any more work to the front, so it won't be as low in the front.

What would be the right way to achieve this look?

Also... I know this question has been asked a million times but if I was thinking about running 17" rims what widths would I want for the front/back? Stock suspension with no mods and no rolled fenders.

Your picture didn't show up so not sure what stance you are looking for. I am running 17"x8" on all four corners. They are Torque Thrust II's with 4-3/4" backspacing. I did the Shelby drop up front and am running 1" drop 620 lb. coils. In the back I have 4-1/2 leaf mid-eye Grab-A-Trac leafs and recently added 1" solid lowering blocks. So far no rubbing, my alignment specs are 2 deg. caster, -.5 deg. camber, and 1/8" toe in. My tire specs are 235/45/zr17's all the way around. Hope to have updated pics of my stance soon, it's on jack stands right now, I'm putting in some 3.55 gears.
