Right now I just need the ability for the car to move and drive since I'll be deployed. Can't leave it like it is. Thanks.

Can you raise the transmission angle up? Cut the exhaust, raise the transmission / engine angle up within tolerances, add a exhaust flex and you should be good.

Like everyone else here said its your Exhaust. Theres things that you don't see until you start messing with something else.

Your exhaust wasn't correct to begin with. Just because it worked before doesn't make it right because you had a greater margin for error with the car higher. Now your car will handle much better but the margin for error on your exhaust was exposed.

My exhaust clearance. Nothing hangs below the subframe. This was a normal 67 dynatech exhaust

I can't even get out of the driveway with dragging the back of the car as well. Hard to route things around the BMR watts link torque arm setup in the back. Has partly to do with entry angle on driveway but also a lot on height of front end. I've even put plywood down at the driveway to solve what I can. Lowered z06 no problem, sprite with a SBC, no problem, camaro with this suspension setup, problem. I'm not concerned with how the car will handle 100 times better over stock, with this setup. Id take stock all day long right now, drove with it all day long for many years daily and it was fine. I don't have time to auto cross right now anyways with deployment lurking. I want to either go big block or ls engine in the future so I'll shelve the Tru turn for now and worry about it later.

Yeah, put the stock spindle back on it for the moment, till you get more time to address the exhaust. Be sure to put the stock drag link and steering arms back on it too. If you don't, the bumpsteer will be so bad you'll cuss me eveytime you drive the car on the highway.
Good luck with your deployment...stay safe!

I appreciate it bro, I'll hit you guys up closer to time when I get back to figure out how to go on this one and I'm going to go to different shocks and springs on a few other vehicles. Thanks again.

I'm assuming that's a spammer?

I was confused when I saw they just added "I agree that" to my other post.
