Driveline Hitting underside of floor (at rear)
I can't see ladder bars helping with it bottoming out when hitting a bump, as you described in the OP.
Raise the rear up a bit.
I love the stance of the car and don't really want to raise the rear up at all.
Here is what I am considering. Tell me if I am being stupid.
1) Sell the Dana 60 less my SSBC disk brakes(less than 1,000 miles on it and it looks brand new). Purchased from Strang Engineering for $2,300 plus shipping.
2) Purchase a used 8 3/4 and completely go thru it - new axles, new 2.76:1 gears, posi, powder coat the housing
3) Reinstall SSBC disk brakes
4) Probably have to lengthen driveline.
This swap will get me the clearance I need and also get me the taller gear set so I can run at 60 mph at 2,200 rpm.
Thoughts????
Stupid??
Smart???
The car is not going to be drag raced and autocrossed. It is just a cruiser for the weekends with an occasional "jack rabbit" start from a stop light.
I am worried about the low end if we put 2.76:1 gears in it.
