This is a proform brand with car on jack stands, and new 6 leaf springs and shocks. Lowest setting. I'm going to shorten it 1 "
Pics were after installation of everything, bottoms out on **** Iowa roads, can't even raise to next hole without lifting body weight up, then solid contact.
Really? Won’t help with the keeping the pinion angle at the ideal (angle) on launch? Won’t help with forcing the tires into the pavement at all? Assist with the cars rear raising all the while? Of all the suspension books on how to properly set up the “factory” Chrysler leaf spring rear for drag racing Ive never read that the pinion snubber won’t do anything positive. We are talking using factory parts correct?
All I need to really know is that Sox & Martin as well as the Ramchargers used them with great success up to a level of performance where the whole rear suspension had to become a totally different setup. I’ll never get to that point with my junk and don’t want to for that matter. If they could do it for the et’s they ran it’s good enough for me.
Come on man! All that is of little value or relatable here without ET and 60 foot times. The OP hasn’t stated what his car does at the track or that he’ll ever get to the track for that matter. I ran 11.75 with 60’ times of 1.58 with my van, yes a different animal than an A-body but same suspension, on factory 1/2 ton springs, a pinion snubber and QA1 da shocks front/rear (ok, the shocks aren’t factory!) Thing dead hooks on MT ET drag radials. Rear raises good, the pinion angle is under control and the tires get driven into the track. Front raises the straight axle to its limits and ive gotten air. I don’t need anything else, don’t need to pitch it all for Caltracs or ss springs etc. maybe if I get close to the 10 second threshold I will. But that may not be of any value or relatable for the OP either

Really? All I know is my 71 BB Dart drag only would Hit so hard even with 002/003 SS springs the axle would rap so hard the housing dented the front of shocks! After the adjustable snubber was installed, problem solved. Car ran 9.20’s.
You may want to inspect your shocks?
