i have a set of stance super sport coils with 12k and 6 k spring rates, but they dont seem stiff enough i feel like im rubbing to much when i hit a dip, do you guys think its the spring rates being to weak or do i need to run more camber?

Never seen a HD with gas station either. But it looks like a Shell sponsored by Home Depot.

I have wheels coming in soon in about 4 days and they are size 18x9.5/10.5 with a +12/+0 offset and I want to achieve an aggressive stretched look. I am currently running 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 in the rears and was wondering what tire sizes I should run for both the fronts and rears to achieve this look

im not sure what i can compare it too. its not like you will have cut springs and look like your flashing high beams. its nice on smooth roads, bumpier on shitty ones since it doesnt flex as much

i have stance gr+ coils if that makes a difference from yours. 8k was recommended however they said i could go up to a 9 but anything more i would need to revalve to handle the spring rate.
