Thanks everyone! Haha - I was happy with the rake when I added the leaf springs with the +2" lift. But after the engine rebuild and AC delete, there was some decent weight lost on the front. I'll likely get new front springs to match the new setup but also have it lowered a bit. ------------- Dan 1970 Ford Torino hardtop - 351C 4V - FMX - 9" 3.89 TrueTrac |

looks like it sits about level, i kinda like it the way it is, IMO there's something to say for some amount of suspension travel. what i notice in the 70-72's is the higher the rear goes up the curves of the fenders is lost, rear down and the swoopy lines of the fenders come out, JMO YMMV

Nice call-out on the fender lines! Focusing on that does change the perspective. ------------- Dan 1970 Ford Torino hardtop - 351C 4V - FMX - 9" 3.89 TrueTrac |

Ditto, it looks good now, but I'd like to see the rear up maybe an inch, and the front down a little too. ------------- Don 73 Ranchero "Sport 72 front end", floor shift/console, planning EFI 7000 rpm 351 stroker 73 Ranchero GT 351C-4V &4R70W for sale later. 92 Lincoln Mark VII SE GTC, OBDII 347/4R70W |
