Show That Lowered A-body!

johnparts Updated front end shot. 20" wheel fender lip 23 1/4 " from the ground.

Very cool. Only possible with custom front suspension of course.



Determining front wheel backspace is a tough part of the planning process for me. I could order a wheel and check fit, but in general once a tire is mounted they cannot be returned. I'm thinking about slicing the center out of an old wheel for mock up purposes.

I'd like input on what is the ideal front wheel backspace for lowering a 69 Dart using the factory suspension. From what I've read on this site, it seems about 5 1/4" with an 8" wheel will keep things just inside the fender. That would translate to 4 3/4" with a 7" wide wheel.

Any input?? :hello2:
