    Fordman,
    Could you tell me the width and backspacing of your rear wheels please?
    Also, have you trimmed your inner wheelwells or rolled out your quarters at all?
    I have a huge amount of tire in back, but since they stick out, ive had to raise and stiffen the rear so much that the car is unable to hook up.
    12 inches of contact on each side and it just smokes them.
    I think I should go with narrower wheels and tires so I can set up the suspension to squat and transfer a bit of weight.
    I have a set of slapper bars, but had to add overload springs to the backside of the leafs to keep the fenders from coming down on the tires.
    Thanks in advance,

    That is beautiful.

    Can't wait till I'm doing wheelstands.

    Thanks Fordman!
