Good deal! I'd like to see what it looks like with the new tires and wheels. 
It's pretty nice outside here today. I'm going to go down and get mine washed and drive it around a little bit........

I wish it was nice here. It's hot as hell here and 100 times worse in the garage.

How much did you cut the coils? New ones aren't very expensive are they?
Here's some for $80 from CJ Pony...

When you replace them it might take a while for the car's weight to settle the springs. My rear end was jacked up after I replaced the rear leaf springs.

I bought a set exactly like this except for 67-up.

I also sit 1 full coil cut off of them.

That should work. I have 205 on mine I think. I had problems with the fender rubbing on the front tires when I had 225/60/R15. You can't trust everything you see on the web!
