why not just fix what hits? change out the long tubes for a mid or short, tuck the exhaust up more... these cars were never designed to sit low and REALLY not built to sit with the front lower then the back.. we drop them and rake the and complain, if we crack out the factory assembly manual and start looking at numbers is easy to see
here UPC 0, A11 shows what to measure... the J and K locations as shown

and the we look at the J and K factory measurements and the front always sits higher then the rear from factory

Thanks Rod, I shall perform those measurements.
To be honest, I have never liked the way the ass end of f-bodies sit lower in the rear. Also not a fan on them being lower at the front. I am seeking a reasonable / safe and level ride height front to back.
Car just came back (fall this year) from paint/finishing - as noted. I have only driven it 4 times, and mostly short hops. As noted I need to go through it, establish what I do and don’t like - and make adjustments.
Right now I have learned (from ~2hrs total drive time) the car rides stiff. It was a race car (returned to stock) and still has Cal-Tracs installed and comp-eng drag shocks x 4 corners. Car shudders over bumps / even with sound deadening and carpeted interior. Further, will need to look into getting all items protruding below the frame tucked up.
We did swap out the ball joints on the crappy e-Bay tubular ctrl-arms w/Ridetech units. One reason I may hold off changing them for now.
More updates once I get back on it!
Happy thanksgiving to fellow PT’ers! [emoji884]
I don't like butt draggers either, sorry if it came across rough, didn't mean it that way. I do see it all the time here at the shop we all lower our cars now and most of the cars still have long tube headers from the drag era that hang down, sorry my point was we all have drag race parts and the cars don't sit in that drag stance, so that gear doesn't fit into the new operation of the car
take the front and rear shocks off, and just drive the car around the block to see it it smooths out if it does then its just in need of a good shock
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
