That sucker is sitting crazy high.....if the angle of the pic was any higher I would be asking if it's got a front beam axle.

Nice pics. That didnt have the suspension technology we have these days. They had to what they could for traction. I love old race cars.

Air shocks and shackles, that's how we rolled! 90/10 shocks up front with a set of HD springs or spacers up front to control the bouce, and 140LBs in the air shocks out back to make it solid.

Or straight up bars in the back instead of shocks, right? :mrgreen:

I've also heard of welding pipes to the ball joint to make the front sit higher to aid weight transfer

And the rear shackles aren't even on their highest setting. 8-)
