Well the TCI kit positioned the axle farther back in the wheel well than center. I don't know if this is just because of the 12 bolt version prototype. We moved it forward to better center it and got new two link rods with the Johnny joints to accomplish it. It may be slightly too forward now but the torque arm down bars may hit the floor pan. Brett is going to try and adjust the axle back maybe ~0.5" This also had the unintended consequence of putting the shocks out of alignment with the mounts. I know Brett can fab whatever is needed to get around these things, but it is more time before the car hits the road.
Then when he pulled my trans he found out that PVC used SAE bolts on my metric LS bellhousing. Fingers crossed that Brett's retapping the holds to the correct 10mm is all we needed and that the bellhousing isn't compromised.
But for some good news here are some better pics of the car at the planned ride height. Front and rear wheel wells are centered at this height. May raise the rear a tad to facilitate more shock travel. We'll see.
I got a little picture happy lol
You may notice inf the two pics above that the drivers side front wheel is a bit back in the wheel well. Car hasn't been aligned yet. Passenger side is fine so hoping it is just an alignment issue. I want to be able to run at least 5* of caster and not worry about fender clearance at the back of the wheel.
I've already gotten used to 275 up front. It doesn't even look that big in this pic with those 315s peaking out back.
So that concludes this weekend's update.
