I want to get a bit more clearance on the front end of a 75 sb with struts what springs are out there to do the job

Ground clearance (lift) or strut-to-wheel clearance?

Wooooooow. Old post, But, Biz - Where are those 3 bolt struts from?? The only 3 bolters I can find in AUS are the sherman ones, and most people are saying they are not the best option...

I have ones from V-Force on mine. Work great

Yeah... Budget is probably a bit tight for V-force items, sadly......

$300 for the struts, $180 for the strut brace.... Just need new springs, or some degreaser and paint. new inserts, and top bearings ect. Why must it be all so expensive. haha. darn student budgets!
