Help me please!!! I almost fired up the bandsaw but decided to check in first. With 5" blocks under the chassis the bottoms of the batwings on the axle just touch thr ground. That means the hairpins are level(just touching the ground) and parallel with the frame rails. The rod end on the pin is about 2.5" under the frame. The center of the spindle is 6 3/8" off the ground. So here's what I know, the lowest point in my suspension hangs 5" below the bottom of the frame. I plan on using 25.5" diameter tires in the front so I know that spindle height has to go up at least another 6". If I "Z" this thing, it goes up 3" (2X3" box frame) If I don't do that it seems crazy to have an 11" ride height on a hot rod. I know it's probably unsafe but is a double suicide an option? Cutting a notch on each side of the perch and mounting the spring on top of it? I am lost. Bob, Dave, anybody out there?
