pull/pushrod suspension

[David Pozzi]

It looks like you will lose a huge amount of spring rate due to the low pushrod angle. Gaining it back, or choosing a good shock rate and spring rate will be a challenge. I'd give a hard look at what is the stock spring rate at the wheels, and try to achieve that or slightly lower since you say it won't be loaded that heavily. I've seen street rod pickups that had 150 lb/in coil springs used on them and were still pretty stiff.



It's hard to tell where you have it now, but at normal ride height, set the rod to bellcrank arm angles at 90 degrees.
