Ok, so I have a 2005 300. It sits really nice, using Airlift's kit. I'm running 22"x8.5 and 265/35/22. It is my daily, however I have another car I can drive while I do some work to it.

I know I should have went hydro on the MacII, but this is where I am at, with bags.

I am pretty sure that for the rear to lay down a bit more I need a smaller shock with around the same stroke, and to lay it out, I would need to tub some of the trunk area and build a new suspension, right?

As for the front, what all is required. I believe the upper arms are hitting the inner fender wells, but not positive since I havent taken off the fenders. Will cutting them out and boxing over it be sufficient, or will I need to raise the struts or mount the bags on the upper arms etc.

It's a lot of questions, but I figure most of the awesome 300's were built a few years ago so it shouldn't be top secret, and I just want to minimize the time I have it in the shop and not on the road.

Any advice/pics or anything would be amazing, and if you want to pm me instead, feel free too, thanks.

front: notch top of fender for the control arm, and also a small tub bottom of(back of the headlight) for the tires

back: is just notching the cradle and smaller shock......not sure if tire will hit
