....Thanks a Million Everyone!
There is an Incredable amount of information on the site!
.....
OK, here's where we are; 1) The frame is C notched, there is app. 3 3/4" clearance between the top of the axle & the bottom of the frame. I can tell it hasn't hit here cuz the powder coating isn't scratched... 2) There is 1" of clearance between the top of the 9" housing & the bottom of the body {it hits here}. 3) There is 1 1/4" of clearance between the top of the rear stableizer bar & the bottom of the car body {it hits here}. 4) My tires are advertised as 30" tall but with 28 pounds of air pressure {the minimun recommened by the manufacture, Hurst Tires in Oregon} they measure 29" tall. 5) By looking at the tape measure on Ken's car & using the same referrence point on my car; Kens is 39"'s & mine is 40"'s {to top of the body molding}. So mine is low & I like the low look. 6. I do have two more holes in my shock mounts that would raise my body but I don't want it any higher. In fact I was initally hoping to even lower my car some but that's out now. 6) The floor in my trunk is flat towards the front of the car & then comes up towards the rear. 7) I have 2 3/4" clearance between the top of my tires & the lip on the rear body.....
This is what I plan on doing; 1) getting bump stops 2) cutting a hole in my floor.
Questions; 1) can I run lower tire pressure than recommened by the manufacture??? 28 minumin rear tire pressure they said. They are recaped Goodyear Wranglers {I told them it was a light weight '32 Ford. 2) Because I need clearance on both the rear end & the stablizer bar mount I need a hole that's 10" x 12". Should I do 1 large hole or 2 small ones??? 3. My gas tank is in the way so I will have to either use a 2" bubble on top on my trunk floor {which will give me about 3 3/8" clearance between the top of the rear end & the bottom of my bubble. Or should I raise my gas tank to get more clearance??? I'd rather not do this..... 4) If I go with a 12" x 10" hole should I bolt on a steel bubble so as to not take away any support to the rear???? Thanks again, Bill
