I'm curious as to how anyone is running this combo...you need a lot of front end travel for this to work and it looks like your limited with the Alterkation.....any thoughts

I have 2 customers with that combo and it does not work well at all. I would like to move the upper shock mount up to give the cars the suspension travel the leaf springs need.

I don't use an alterkation, I have a Bondo Bob front suspension, but I had a 1.420 60' last week with my SS rear suspension. went 10.560...

Depends on how much powrt you make how much travel you will need. The more power the less travel you will need. Low powred cars will need more travel than a higher powered car. The alterK does not give you much travel at all, 3-3.5" is about the most I have seen. Lots of cars running well into the 7's on Caltracs, but they limit front end travel.
