the car has the stock heigth springs, the shocks that i have are 99113 that are 20 inches long and 13.25 colapesd. sitting in the car there is 3 inches of shaft exposed. do you thing these things separate that much? also why does is separeate so much? i dont see chevys or fords doing this. thanks

It's my understanding that it is caused by the geometry of the rear springs. The front part of the spring acts like a control arm. The back part of the spring (which is much longer), working with the front, torques the car and causes lift......this also forces your tires down into the road....pretty cool.

Look how far forward the axle mount area is from center.
