Should I lower? Right now I'm on the stock PP springs. The wheels are 20x11 and 20x10. 295/35/20 in the rear and 275/35/20 in front.

I'm kinda regretting not getting the 315s in the back like I wanted. I just had about 5 people tell me that it would be to large and look funny.... Lesson learned I guess. Any way, I'm wanting to lower on the 1" FRPP street springs and possibly put spacers in the rear. I'm just worried it might mess with the handling performance that the PP has. Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

I have the PP shocks with Steeda Progressive Springs.

Gives a modest 1.25" drop on the front, and 1" drop on the rear.

Sits the car down perfectly and drives better than stock. Reduces body roll and provides a much more responsive ride.

Just my 2 cents from my experience.

How much of a pain was it to lower it?

Not that difficult. If you watch the CJ Pony video on installing lowering springs, then it gives you a good idea of how to go about it:

Screw it I'll lower it. Do you think I will need spacers for it to sit flush with the finder like the other picture?

Based on the specs you stated youll be fine with just the drop no spacers needed, keep in mind when you rock a 315 tire on the back they adjust camber specs to -1.8 to -2 degrees to make sure the wheel slides in properly when the suspension is compressed

Ok thanks. I just want it to be flush like the pic I attached. I didn't know lowering the car would poke the wheels outward. But I don't know a lot so ya...
