Effect of raising rear of car?

They raised the back to clear the tires, pure and simple (been there in the 60;s), It turned out that it actually hurt et. Then along came Dick Landy, and others, with the lower link bar; the forerunners of the ladder bars, 4 links, and the cheap traction bars..

think about weight transfer- front end raises, puts weight on rear tires. Raises too much- all that energy took time to transfer to the year- bad 60 foot time.

Keep the rear low, install whatever, and start adjusting the center of gravity, until it starts to hook good. Now, the shocks are probably too short, causing a bounce. Lengthen. Actually, buy double adjustables.

If the rear squats on launch; shocks too soft. If it lifts 2"- dead on the money. All the weight is now planting the tires.
