I figured with another half inch of adjustment I could crank it up some more and maybe keep the car from dragging until I save up enough to convert to a coilover setup.
But the '71 adjusters are also 3.5", so either the dart is an oddball or my '74 has earlier adjusters in it?
of course, if i could get the problem figured out i'd just leave the bars in the car and save some money for another project.
