Gary..you've convinced me to stay with the 02/03's! If the front mounting bolt is dropped from the top mounting hole,to the lower one...what will that do? Lower the rear-end?...hit harder? If it does lower the body,the tire clearance on the street tires will be REAL CLOSE! That's going to be a BIG consideration..even though I'd like to level the car out! Thanks for the info,fella's!



Putting it in the lower hole raises the car by about .5. It softens the hit to the tire which is better for a so so track condition. The top hole is better suited for hard hooking track.Jake

Thanks,Gary! Guess it'll stay in the top hole...don't need it any higher! I use the 9-way Rancho rear shock...has anyone had a problem with them not having enough travel...and bottoming out?

[quote) We have tried the 3400 and 3600 and 3800 springs...and none will out 60' the 002/003s! That is the best scienced-out mopar spring... in my opinion.


Jake..same thing Dick Landy told me at Carlisle...just before I ALMOST bought a heavier set!

Be sure to check them as their are couple of different shocks, extended length should be around 25 to 25 1/2" long, if not the shocks may top out when you launch the car

Steve..just checked the advertised extended length on my Rancho RS 999114 9-Ways...it lists 24.250" as the extended length! Isn't that too short? You stated they need to be 25-25.5" long.Looks like my shocks might be a CULPRIT...as well as the shackle angle! What's the consensus on this???? Thanks in advance,guys!

Randy,

You need to disconnect the rear shocks from the axle/bottom end and support the car from the frame, letting the rear suspension hang free/unloaded. then extend you shocks.... they should extend at least an inch or so beyond the mounting point.

First he needs to correct the shackle issue... the
spring will travel farther when corrected and the axle
will drop farther THEN he needs to measure the shock
distance like you said
