Spend some time tonight and centered, setting pinion angle. Ended up welding the center holes in the perches, and redrilled them so the axle got straight under the car. The front segment of the passenger side ss spring is ½" longer than the driver side. Now I have about 1 ½" clearance to the...

The rear spring eyes are actually pretty close to the frame, hopefully they will not hit the frame

Here is a better picture of the shackle angle, this is with load on the springs.

Working on it

Would love to see some side shot pictures and measurements on cars with 28-32" tires for reference.

I'm aware of the different front hangers. The car used to have the 1" extension front hangers together with ss springs. I have moved the springs 1/2" to the rear from this position. Thinks the axle sits a little to far back, or maby not, it's pretty much in the center of the wheel opening now...

Just finished mini tubbing and relocate the springs on my 64 belvedere. Moved the axle back about 1/2 inch, but I kind of think it looks odd, or is my brain just messing with me. Tires are 29x15r15

Some grinding and touching up left to do. Also need to get the support brackets done.

Straightening the outside part of the rails for even more tire clearance.

Measure and cutting the stock tubs. Flatten the recesed edge for more tire clearance.

Mini tubbin the belvedere. Prep work, 27lbs removed

Looking for real life experience on this. I'm in the process of mini tubbing/ relocate springs on my 64 Belvedere. Will have 16.5" from frame to fender lip. I can cut down the lip some if needed for even more clearance. Tires are crazy expensive to get to Sweden these days so just wanna do this...

No daily, just car meets, weekend warrior and 2-5 drag racing events per year. Just changed torque converter for this season, went from 3000 stall 11" hughes to custom built 9.5". Better trap speed and even better on the street than the hughes tq.

3500rpm in third gear flooring it. I foot brake the car at around 2000rpm.

Howards 98512 set up at around 1.88 l believe.
