Re: I need to raise the front end of a Dodge 330

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before you go and start cranking the front end up, did you build the car or
buy it that way?  What type of torsion bars do you have?  Do you have 90/10
shocks or stock?  When you jump on it will it stand up level and go or stay
nose down?  Do you have Super Stock springs on the back?  Also you have a
very tall set of slicks back there exacerbating the nose down stance.  The
reason I ask, is if the suspension is set up that way you may slow yourself
down adjusting it.  With 6 cylinder T bars, 90/10 shocks & SS Springs your
car will set nose down at a stop but when you accelerate the front end will
come up fast and hold there giving you excellent weight transfer!  Remember
what looks good does not mean it will go faster.

Subject: I need to raise the front end of a Dodge 330
 
I put slicks on the rear of my Dodge and it looks too high in the rear.
 
I started looking at other cars with slicks and I noticed my front end is a
lot lower than most "Super Stocks" and clones of them.
 
I think the guy that built the car has the torsion bars cranked way down
because the car is very low.
 
I have not researched it yet on how to raise the front.
 
Any tips or tricks and do you guys think that will cure my stance?
