I left my LX at stock height with 275/50/15 on 15x8.5 rim's. I put in Airbags
with 5 pounds of air. No rolling or cutting. No rubbing.

If you found a Foxbody with quality ride with et streets you better hold on to it LOL.
Seriously, i hope the cutting or rolling works out for you. I just didn't want to mess
with my quarters that way. Rides fine just doesn't sag. Good Luck.
