Well Chaz,
I split the difference here. I noticed IPD sway bars on an old 122 wagon I was gutting (to make a new '66 wagon) I put'em on and bought the lowering coils (IPD) Something about the rear fenderwells was oddly vacant so I put wider tires on the rear. I wasn't sure it would work so I used scrappies. Well, with the larger width goes and increase in height. Surprise......it was great! I got some respectable tires on there and along with the wider tread I got a bit of lift in the butt, not to much but just enough to make a difference. Painted the wheels 2-tone(courtesy '60's VW style) I then added gas shocks to the setup. It looks great and drives easy.

Good Luck
Jim
