Front suspension too low
I have a 1936 Plymouth P1 Two Dr sedan with 318/904, PS,PDB, Vintage Air,Etc. Many years back I updated the front suspension with a Fat Man mustang II kit. Installed per the instructions the front end of the car is way too low. I only have 2" under the grill shell and this is with using too strong front springs which force the lower A arms down past horizontal. This situation caused losing the brakes when making very tight left turns in parking lots. Fat Mans tech guy diagnosed this (correctly) as the lower A arm being past horizontal and striking the caliper forcing the puck back. My question is: Is there is some way to fix this short of grinding off the FatMan crossmember and remounting it on some kind of a spacer lower on the frame kick up? Any creative ideas will be appreciated. I have had this rod over 30 years but don't like to drive it in ths condition. Thanks!
