Haven't alligned the car yet, but with the engine/ trans weight in the car now I am really liking how it sits. Plenty of room off the bump stops up front, tons of clearance under the k member & reducers.
Post your wheel and tire combos.

Those looks great. What rim size BS and tires are you running thanks.
Fronts are 17x8 5.5BS low pad with 245/45/17
Rears are 17x9 5.5BS low pad with 255/45/17
Hotchkis rear leafs, PST torsions and QA1 upper/lowers. The wheels up front clear the 11/32nd tie rods, the rim of the weel is close to the upper control arm where the balljoint cup is but its slash cut there and clears. I forget if the factory is this way as well, this comes into play at full droop. fmj front spindles/ brakes and dr. diff 10.7 rear discs and bbp axles.
Black steel cop wheels 15x7, 205/60R15 in the front and 235/60R15 MT Street SS in the back
Rocket Racing Ignitor 16x6 front and 15x7 Rear. 205/55R16 on the front and 235/60R15 MT Street SS in the back

How wide are your wheels? Any suspension mods?
Did you have to modify any of the suspension?

Mopar. Because rocket science is too easy.
@Keith Mopar do you have a good side profile pic? These are the wheel sizes I’m considering for my 65 Valiant. What leaf springs are you running?

The springs are new for an A body bought from espo springs.
I'll have to get a pic from the side for you later, my car is at the body shop right now but it's there on those wheels as they had to be able to move it around.

Thanks for the reply! Are they stock height? Or did you get some for a lower ride height?

Found one old picture, a bit more of a side shot. I loaded about 400lbs in the trunk to try and see if the tires would rub any where. That's why it's sitting real low in the back in this picture. The rear spring has 2 front spring locations and it is sitting in the upper hole to get the back end down to check for tire clearance.

did that get it onto the bump stops?

Yes stock height springs, but since I moved my springs inboard the front hanger has 2 locations one for lowering the front eye 1 1/2 inches.
No not on the bump stops, but very close to it. and tires still had a small bit of room before rubbing on the inner rear quarter panel.

Put some center caps on those steelies, and those cooper cobras with black walls out and that car would look bad ***
