Plan for wheel clearance also--where ever you mount them

I've got that covered. I narrowed the mustache bar (batwing) a total of 10" and bought shorter camber and toe rods from VBP and shorter half shafts from Denny's making that portion of the rear 3" narrower on each side. Bought 10" rims with 3" back space and back halfed the frame to accomadate all. The spings will be mounted inboard of the frame at nearly a 20 degree angle. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks,
Dave

Hey Jerry. Were you able to find your drawings? Also, any thoughts on this thread..... http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37547

I think the QA1's should work as far as the coil diameter. They are real small. In fact, I had to do a double-take on them because they looked soo skimpy as far as over-all size. I wish I had gone with more stroke. I wouldve notched the frame a little. I still have 2 3/4 inches of up travel with-out touching but will still have to add a bump-stop to protect the fenders. The one thing I've found I dislike about the fenders on these. Not much room for suspension travel is there.

Thanks,
Dave
