Raising the front end 69 Cuda

red67gts said

I had the same experience on my 67 GTS back in the day. I had just jacked my torsion bars up and was trying it out when a guy I knew had a 442 Olds. He started to pass and I stepped on mine and put him back behind me then there was a slight curve in the road and air got under my front end and I almost went to the woods. When I got it under control I went back and lowered it back down. If you do it be careful until you find out how different it handles. I also liked the look, Joe

I will certainly be careful, don't want my baby (Barracuda)to get hurt...LOL!!! Did you guys get a good alignment after you cranked up the torsion bars??? I know if you crank them up it changes the steering geometry and it would be dangerous without a good alignment. Those drag racers (back in the day) didn't seem to have much problem going in a straight line at 100-120-130MPH. Maybe somebody with years and years of experience (an old guy like me) can tell us more about handling with the front end jacked up a little??? I have no plans to go road racing or on a slalom run.
