Now that I have headers (and exhaust cut-outs) How do I...

well if the shoe...... you said it not me


as for height if i can get away with this:



i'm sure you can get away with it too?

 

Joking?...as soon as you posted the picture of the caster, I went out and mounted a couple left over from my old tool box...They work GREAT!!!

But mine have two little air-bag shocks mounted to each one, independent suspension...yeah...right.

I would guess you could clear the oil pan due to, like you said, it will always be higher than the tires. Since the header flanges are almost half way back they will "high-center" as the tires go back below the level of whatever the bump was. (not making much sense here...trying...)

I may have to find a small speed bump and practice, and just learn what I can take and what I cannot. Learn angle of attack, speed, etc. Then just steer clear of them, and hope that I never forget and hit one head on.

 

Ball and socket work well for me. No more gaskets to leak either

 

I did what lonnie did. Cut the flanges off and welded the headers to the pipes. No more rubbing. I went through what you are going through for a good while. IT is a scary feeling....... Anyway, that's what worked for me. Good Luck! Preston

 

...what about the idea of a on-board air system with air shocks.....when you come to a speed bump just flip the switch and raise the car....Problem solved!:bananaman

 

I could weld the flanges, but I would still have the cut-outs with their flanges, which actually hang down another 1/2" lower.

As for an "on-board [hydraulic] air system with air shocks..." I have thought of that...I have seen those used by youngsters driving large, but low vehicles to overcome obstacles such as speedbumps, driveways, and very small rocks
