Quote: I am running into the same issue on a 68 Barracuda S/S clone. I am using the DC offset front hangers and shackles. When I mocked up my Dana, the rear shackles are pointed forward, it seems that the wheel is moved forward slightly in the wheelwell and the car sits WAY too high. I am using 10.5"x29.5" slicks and I realize that I will have to elongate the wheel openings in the front area for the bigger diameter slicks but the shackle position and rear ride height has to change. I am thinking about de-arching the springs about 2" but won't this change the spring rate decreasing the effectiveness of the S/S springs? I would think flattening out the spring some would also correct the shackle angle as well? I really don't want to add blocks to the rear spring hangers. Thoughts?
No it wont change the spring rate if they put it back to what it was after de-arching it... it would only lower the end point of the spring, any good spring shop can do it
