Post 'em if you gottem! Interested to see how A bodies sit with Cal Tracs mono's or stock leafs and small tires (small meaning like a 275/60 DR, or a 28 X 10-ish). I see Calvert sells their split mono's w/ a 1" drop. I don't like the SS spring look with the rear raised, so looking at the Calvert setup. For budgetary and baseline reasons, probably stick with the factory leafs for now.

Nice, thanks. What size tires, and which leafs? Mine is not going to be mini-tubbed.

275/60/15 hoosier drag radial under it in this pic. I have offset leafspring hangers with stock wheel wells. I got the +1 in ride height spring but ended up using 2 inch lowering blocks.

Cal-Tracs with mono-leafs (-1"). Non-tubbed with 3/4" offset hangers. Hoosier 28 x 11.5 QTP's. I had add a small spacer to the front leaf spring mounts to center the axle in the wheel well. Also had to roll the top of the wheel lip for clearance.

Thanks. It's a 12:1 340 with W2's, small Hughes solid, 4spd and 4:88's. I haven't run it yet with the W2's. With the bowl worked J heads I had on it it went 11.70's at 117.7 (on worn out M&H's).
