What are you running for a front runner with a 2 1/4" backspace?? I really like the weld 786-15202 but they are about a G for a pair Is there anything else available with a larger bs on a 3.5" wheel?

Has it lessened with removing the 11/16?

Hi John, did you check your scrub angle?

Lay under your car at ride height and take a small staight edge in line with the center of the top balljoint and line it up through the center of the bottom balljoint. See where it hits the ground in relation to the front tire.
Where was it before you removed 11/16"?
I think Lee milled the back side of his spindle .250" and the different BS wheels made a difference = .750" Don

Hey Don
I thought it fell in the tire now but I kind of hurryied to get it out to the track. The 11/16 includes a 1/2" plate that the steering arm attatches to so I am only 3/16" farther out than stock if that makes sense.

Yeah that makes sense. The question is what BS wheel did the factory use? Compared to what you got now. The second to last pic was a good shot of where the scrub angle is.
I may go to Cordova today, will look at my scrub before I load up.
There are a lot of things to engineer when building a K frame, front steer! Don

Thank you that is what I went with. Only wheel that I saw that had a 2.875 bs and looked like the Weld draglights I was allready running.
