Default Rear way too high!!

Here is the setup. Someone wanted lots of rake i guess

Removed shocks and remounted wheels. No difference cause those HD leafs.

What you say i do. Any pics of springs you've used for drop?

Show me stance pics guys.

Thanks
Brad

PTFB leafs are the best value/performance for a slight drop from stock height, about 1-1.5", 72 firebird sits great IMO.

1st pic 225/70 tires, 2nd pic 275/60 drag radials, have 255/60 on the rear of rally 2s now and will go to a 275/60 rear/255/60 front soon. No rubbing with any tire combo. PTFB front springs too.

I had Detroit spring TA springs with a 1" drop and the second leaf all the way to the spring eye. they are about right.
