Welcome !
Very sweet car. I am building a 62 Shop car with the same wheel tire size combo as you. We too are running a full air ride. Did you do any notching or sectioning to the rear frame rails ?
When I first set the car down I thought it sat too high with the 22's. So I ended up pulling the frame back out and c-notching about 2". Then the upper shock brackets had to be moved, and cross member above the u-joint had to be modified. When the body went back on I had to modify the body mounts right behind the wheels, and also raise the floor tunnel under the back seat. I also changed the inner structure of the fuel door for more clearance and the fuel door opens up instead of swing out know. And last I put a notch in the trunk pan for the upper control arm on the rear end, after putting bump stops in and changing the upper arm to a hotchkis I don't think that step was needed. The car could go down another 1" or so but I would have to raise the floor tunnel under the back seat some more.
Thats pretty much what we experienced. Thats why I asked. I thought about running 20's instead but am in the process of doing exactly what you explained. It sat a little high for my taste. We also made the tunnel a little larger in order to sit lower and are running a one piece driveshaft. We used a Fab 9 rear and modified the air ride components to fit.
Thanks alot for the feedback. Now if I can just decide on a paint color
