Hey guys glad to be on here. Picked up this Saab 97x 5.3 and I really like it. Previous owner did a lot of work to it and recommended me to this site.

It has:
- Bilstein 5100s
- Hotchkis rear sway bar
- SSR BMR trailing arms?
- Z71 tahoe rear springs
- front springs are currently stock but bilstein 5100s are on top perch
- 1.5 wheel spacers from amazon FAS Motorsports
- 275/65/18 toyo AT 10ply tires
- magnaflow resonator


What i want to do with it is level it out at like 2.5", make exhaust a little quieter, and remove wheel spacers - to pass PA inspections - i'll need help with that.

Here are the parts I have & what i want to do
- Owner was going to put new moog springs on the front - not sure which model # i can look if its there
- he was going to put Trailblazer EXT rear springs with Supreme spacer. I bought Moog 81051 for rear and 1.5" delrin supreme spacers - hoping this gets me to 2.5" lift
- Owner also said he was going to put on a TB front sway bar with new bushings
- I want to find a wheel i can put on this vehicle. I work for an auto distributor .. i can get Grid wheels custom drilled .. they would be 18x9 though. So i'm trying to figure out backspacing needed to replace my 1.5 wheel spacers. From my calculattion 0 offset may do it, but then the grid wheel is 1" wider than the stock ones. So i could do -12 offset but it may stick out past my fenders too much whihc PA inspections do not want.

Hopefully i can get it all dialed in!
