Leaf Springs

pettybludart said
I just did some swapping of leafs on my cars.I took the XHD out of my 66 Dart race car,swapped in my sagging ones from my 68 Barracuda and added Caltracs with them.I put the XHD,s in the 68 which now sits just right.If I were you I would try the leafs you have in your altered,if they don,t work,put them back.JMO

thats the plan but im gonna be good and wait till i get a baseline at my home track this week end

typically, but try it.

Have you tried it really low?

I set my front height 'with 002/003's in back' so I have maybe an inch or so between the bump stop.

thats where im at... i was gonna get really short uppers to( or cut them) to allow it to come up more

805, 002/003 is what I have on my Dart..2850 lbs with me in it. Been thinking about the 863/864 but Don't think anything will change but making my wallet lighter.....

what about shackle angle? that the whole reason im doing any of this... i get the car down to 3100 with me in it and now my shackles are straight up and down...
