Adjusting front springs

Recommended Posts

I purchased a set of snow chains a couple years ago for 235/50/R19 tires. However my last tire replacement I purchased 255/50/R19 tires. I recently had to put the snow chains on my tires and they rub against the spring plate right above the tire. I am wondering if anyone has adjusted their springs to make the front ride a little hire? I just need a 1/4" increase in hight.

You can bend the spring plate portion closest to the tire. I added larger wheels and bent it up about 1/3", using my fingers, tire attached.
