Body height

[rdc767]

I don't know where I read to set the rear end on the top of the brackets but its way too high. I spent most of the day dropping it to the bottom.





Looking at the body from underneith. Only one side the the trunk touches the floor on the left side. The across the back it is flat. What do you guys use for shims?

make sure that your suspension is set evenly. I didn't use any shims beside the foam on the rear end.

I set mine with only one exposed hole at the bottom. I will warn though that I do know one guy who set his up all the way down and he manged to break his rear axle housing, so if you going to run it rear really low check your clearances, or notch the frame..

May be I have cork screwed body. It rests on the mid body frame rails fine. It lays across the aft rail flat. But the trunk rises off the rails on the right side and lays flat on the left. ????

Give Joe a call, he may just tell you to shim the side that is up.
Remember the last thing you want to do is stress the body.
With the body on the frame does the trunk and hood fit good?
Because if it does in the relaxed state and you stress the body they will not fit right later on.
Talk to Joe.

I believe mine set fine across the very back of the trunk. As you moved forward on the trunk rails the trunk pan moved increasingly away from the rails.
