1/2-13 stainless nut TIG welded to the A-arm, 1/2-13 stainless bolt with a large flat washer welded to the head of the bolt so the rubber bumper has something flat to bump against. I cut a screwdriver slot in the end of the bolt so you can make adjustments from the top, another 1/2-13 nut locks the adjustment.

Uhmmm.
Weight transfer to rear wheels is cut short early on with front end limiters.
The Teeter Todder effect.
Effective Leverage is changed.

Dragsters pulling Wheelies is amazing.
Effective leverage is tremendous to overcome.

Antisquat must be present for both.

Jack I put the shocks and limiters in. I measured the wheels there was 4" of travel. Now with the limiters in there is 2" of travel.

Don't say that, you have Pontiac power!

Very good, 4" of travel is a lot. 2-2.5" is right in there. Good luck and keep us posted.
