I took the car out today and heard rubbing so I went back and sure nuff the fenders were rubbing the tires just a little.... I took the 2 inch lowering blocks out and solved the problem until I can get some smaller (more narrow) tires.... that 3:73 gear is quick... I lit the tires up once (couldn't resist)... have to rebleed the rear brakes tomorrow.... and the shocks mounting will have to ultimately be reengineered but that's another day... smiling in st pete :)

Jim [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Huntingtown, Maryland   Posted by jimmothershead  -  03/21/2008 10:41 AM When you size and remount the shocks, fill the tank, put 2 60 pound bags of Sacrete in back. Make certain frame stands are supporting the axle not on the frame. Go half way into a driveway, stop and check clearences. Is brake line tight or slack? Any lines or cables that could be crushed if axle hits frame?
