      Question for suspension heads

      I am having a problem. If u look at the pics in the link bc I cant get them to load up on the thread. The front suspension is extremely low. I do have the 2" drop spindles on there. I was wondering if u look at the pics. If I get the stock spindles will it rise the front back up?

      Stock spindles will raise the front back up. But it's not at all clear what the problems are that you're trying to solve, so that may not be the answer you need. Example: you're riding on the bump stops or hit them very frequently because you also have lowering or really soft springs installed as well (swapping spindles will do nothing to help that condition).

      I'd say thats abit low.

      Do you have a nice side shot with the fenders on or am I missing something??

      If you have coil overs you might have to switch to a longer spring and or shock if it will not take a longer spring.

      I don't see a single pic of the car assembled or looking too low. Without that there is no way to gauge what is really going on.


      Hold on, I see that the LCAs are totally flat and think I know what you are looking at (2D pics are very hard to judge by, especially when they are taken from top angles without any real point of reference to help). The best I can say is did you specify that it was a BBC when you ordered it? THe spring rates would be higher and or longer.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Yes I told them when the frame was ordered that a bb was going in the car. Why do they look like sb springs?

      No, I just saw the BB and know that when not specified they ship with SB springs. Otherwise the drop spindles should be ditched if they will cause interference with the new rims so you may be in the clear there.
