Well, the car already lifted some ... Bruce, you may want to put some lead around the rear axle for some additional traction ... hope the F@rd axle you're running can take the stress ... :)

No floor Jack needed it will be torque that does it.

As far as the rear end holding up That is why I put it there sidestep the clutch at 4800RPM with street ET and hang on. It is alot of fun trust me.

All summer? Thought I get to see this on the next Bitburg meet. Don't want to wait too long. That would be 10 weeks from today.

No problem by next Bitburg. Here is the deal Driver side will have air passenger side will not be as noticeable prolly drugg(bareley)due to the twisting of the body.

O, so now you are back tracking. Now just one wheel. Then what will it be... maybe a noticeable dip in the rear.

All I am saying is driver side will be more noticeable higher both will have air. The rear will squat but that is a freebee.

Hawk,
I'll give you a case of your favorite beverage if you can do it......on the auto-x course, not both, just one(alittle air). Are you going to change the gears? I'll bet if you put those new yellow wheels of yours on there it'll do then(LOL)!!!!!!!
