Friend up in Washington sent this pic to me from a parade this past weekend.....who does it belong to?
The ride height is exactly what I am looking to do!
If it is someone here, what tire sizes etc??

Nice car! I don't know who belongs to it, but I'd wager it has lowering blocks in the rear...

Lowering Blocks....yeah for sure. I am Wondering if 2" blocks will get it there. What do you all think?
Did everyone also notice my Sig?
Daughter totaled the PT Cruiser last week, rolled it over on its side, guess I will have to update the picture.

before i put my sidepipes on my car sat low like that...doesn't have lowering blocks...just air shocks in the back and the torsion bars were turned way down with 14x7 ansen sprint mags and 235/60-14 BFGs on the back and 225/60s on the front

Dammit Gionni- I LUV THAT STANCE!!!!!!
Now- what the hell are you doing putting lower blocks on mopar- SHAME ON YOU GUYS.
You should just reverse the front spring mount/hanger on the rear springs and that will drop the rear of the car 2" (50.8mm) you'll need a jack/stands, round file and about 2 hours start to finish.
The hanger is offset 1" ( 25.4mm) toward the bottom of the car- from the factory. The bolt pattern is asymetric so the workers could only install it one way- slot those 4 holes so the hanger will install "upsidedown" and bolt it back together. one note- make SURE the slots ar no wider than you need and that you keep them square to the mount.
Cheaper ( no blocks or U-bolts to buy) and better than lowering blocks because it doesn't change the leverage the axle applies to spring.

wow, looks good man!
@road chicken: yes, the front spring hangers are another possibility to drop the rear of the car... i had allready the blocks on stock...therefore i mounted it. in future becomes my RR anyway another suspension-construction...perhaps with air-ride!
