      Bret,
      Thanks for your quick reply. Pictures are a little old and misleading, as the front suspension is now installed in the car and most of the weight is on the front suspension (note jack under front suspension to raise car to desired height). TCI sells a different spring rate for BBC and SBC setups. I ordered the SBC setup, but not sure what I received. Any way to determine if I got what I ordered and just need stiffer springs, or perhaps I received coil-overs with too low of a spring rate?
      I appreciate that TCI may be busy, but I've left 3 messages over 2 weeks. That's why I'm asking these questions on the forum instead of talking to TCI. Not trying to bad mouth them, just need some help.
      Terry

If you need to simulate ride height for wheel fitment, panel alignment, etc, make some coilover simulaters from tubing or strap and bolt in there in place of the coilovers.

      BTW...TCI is usually quite responsive...but if they are as busy as we are [and I happen to know they are] they may be a little backed up right now.
