I've noticed you guys are good at raising the rear end and lowering the front, raising the front and lowering the rear, or raising or lowering the whole thing. I would like to know how to do that. I would appreciate your help in learning how to do this.
Thank you.

All depends on what it is and what type of suspension it has. Generally I look at how they go about it on the 1:1 and pretty make it the same way they do.
Is there a specific one you're trying to lower/raise?

Yeah it really depends on the car and the way the parts are. There are some good pictures of 1:1 on google I've seen that help out at times. I'm still trying to perfect it all also.

OMG this one is my favorite car Dennis!
So with the '70 Coronet, whats your plans with it? I mean what do you want to do, "Slam" it? That be Dales specialty.....
"Rake" it, meaning raise the rear, lower the front, for a strong "raked look" OR just a factory sort of "rake"? There really are different terms for such craziness.....
Next question is, the '70 Coronet, what one is it? The MPC "stock" model, the AMT Stock Model, or the "Pro-Street" version? They make so many of them ever so slightly different each has just slightly different suspension assemblies!

Dennis, if you look at the pics in my Roadrunner MOTM winner, it will give you a good idea on how to lower the front of a Mopar, and the charger i am doing right now, is a bit more basic, but similar. Depending on size of the wheels you are going with, will depend on how far you need to go mod wise. With 14-15" diameter wheels, you can get away with making a new stub axle on the front, with the stub higher than standard, the rear is easy enough, just separate the springs from the diff and make lowering blocks just like a 1:1. or leave it alone, and it will look raised compared to the lowered front. Now, if ya want to slam it, thats a whole different story, which will involve channeling. If ya need more info mate, you know where to call.  |
