The great debate

Air shocks render a leaf spring suspension useless..especially on a Mopar. The Mopar rear suspension utilizes non centered rear axle locators. Much moreso than the chebbie. The design takes advantage of the pinion gear trying to climb the ring gear and causing the rear housing to rotate.

When that happens with a Mopar, the rear tires are planted on the pavement. If air shocks are back there, traction will be lost because that planting action will be gone. This is amplifed with the Mopar SS rear suspension setup as those springs are even more off centered than the stock springs.

This is why at the track, you will see chebbies squat in the rear and Mopars rise in the rear. The squatting the chebbies do actually lifts the rear end UP, that's why the car body squats DOWN. It's actually trying to lift the rear tires off the ground. What the hell good is that?!?!?! When the Mopar rear rises, that's from the force of the rear end being pushed DOWN and planting the tires. Very simple concept and chebbie just slam missed the boat. lol
