I have 20" wheels so clearance was not an issue for me

the 16"+ cut your turning radius in half tho. I have them and I hate them so much, I'm about to get the 17+. but ya, you will have to trim the studs with the 17+ if you run 17" wheels

oh ya, I love McGaughys

any lowering spring is going to be stiffer, they have to do this to compensate for the loss of travel. If you wish to preserve your factory ride you need to run spindles....period.

as far as hangers and shackles go......they are all about the same. go mcgaughys you won't be disappointed.
