Drop spindle question

I have heard of people cutting and rewelding the lower control arm to raise the position of the spindle relative to the t-bar clocking and adjustment. Raising the spindle lowers the car (same as the "drop" spindle).

What I'm curious about is how this would affect suspension travel -- does it act exactly like a drop spindle, or more like cranking down the adjuster?

That tire is 25" diameter. I run 24.5" diameter tires which is only 1/4" more on the radius.

I'm 24" to the top of the front fender lip to the ground. Really stupid low.

But I have 1.14" torsion bars that are almost 3 times as stiff and Bilstein RCD shocks.

You are bottoming out. And check your welds at the lower control arm stud hole on the K-member and check for cracking around the K-member bolt on the frame.

I think you need bigger T-bars or go with dropped spindles if you like the ride of the .89" torsion bars.
