I was not just chimeing in or trying to spend somebodies money Leon! You put a hot rod engine in that yards the tires 3-4 feet in the air it's going to take more than a handful of steel shims to correct it. Especially if there is bump steer involved...that as you well know is nothing to fool with.
Good point. It is probably time to prioritize the moves that most feel are important. IMHO they would be-
1....how good are the front end parts-does the front need a rebuild? If so, determine what type of bushings, rubber or poly
2....set front and rear chassis height and set caster where you will run it. THEN check for bump steer problems through the range the front will travel during a run. Acquire a Mopar chassis manual, and fix the bump steer if needed to get within 1/8 all the way through travel.
3.... set up your travel limmiters, both up and down for cushioned stop to travel. Raising the lower one some should help protect the pan, provided you have some shock control to assist.
4.... Determine what front shocks you want to run IMHO you need some good shock control for landing. I am not up on what is out there for budget shocks that will work for your situation, so that may require a post of its own.
5.... Strongly consider wheeliebars if you can't get it consistent and keep the wheelstand at a reasonable level.
Wheeliebars are costly- but so are oil pans, bent rims, etc. The other factor is consistency. The wheeliebars will make the car more predictable for sure.
