12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

Some wild stuff right there. Also note the huge spacers to drop the K down. Along with the pointy end of the UCA bent down for what I assume would be a better ball joint angle with a really low ride height.


Good conversation here... I wonder what an increased spring rate will do to shock performance. I'm approaching the upper limit of the settings now. Part of my brain says the settings wouldn't need to be as high since the spring will be stiffer and won't need to be dampen the motion as much. While the other part of my brain says a stronger spring will need more aggressive dampening. I don't know the science of shocks enough to forecast what may happen.
Yeah, they essentially did a body lift in relation to the suspension. I'm assuming for tire clearance?

In general for higher spring rates you have to have a stiffer shock to control the oscillation force. So if you have a higher spring rate and more force and you are already at the top of your adjustment range you would likely have to look at re-valving or changing shocks.
