Ray, can you point me to the info about the strut/shock change requirements when changing wheels on the S197 cars. I can find no info from Ford, Steeda, etc on this being true.

All I have found is that the 'bump stop' is different when upgrading from 16-17" wheels and 18-19" wheels. Dave "GI Joe" upgraded to 20's from 17's on his Roush without doing any changes.

Just trying to figure this stuff out because there are so many rumors about what has to be done to upgrade wheels.

**Ford claims that the bump stop has to be changed.
**Someone else said it could be the tire pressure sensors (if equipped)
**You have brought up where you have seen that the strut/shocks have to be changed.
