s/s springs & front sus?

allowing the pinion to bottom out in the transmission with no snubber could spell disaster. use the snubber, for 4 speed car snubber should be just hitting frame for auto leave 1/2 inch 28 inch extended shocks with adjusters and coilovers will do the trick with ss springs,I use a welded threaded rod ,cut the rubber off snubber plate ,reinforce the frame ,weld the rod to frame and to top of snubber frame, this also allows me to adjust my pinion angle, very similar to a tractor top link but very effective.
