Thanks mate. :2thumbs:


I'm going into the shop tomorrow and will wait while I get them to adjust the torsion bars. There is still a good 1-1/2" to go upfront. I wouldn't mind "perhaps" a little less rake but still maintaining the no saggy/low "heavy" look. Below are some photo shops I had done by a mate. One photo is 1" lift in the front the other 1/2-3/4" lift. Evens it out and still looks light and fast, my kind of style! ;D Please read photo names for the different heights.

Glad to be back!  :bananasmi  I'll be trying to check in more.... things are starting to go better.

Seeing Carl's ride makes me really miss my cars.  :sadwavey:  If a '70 RT or T/A 4 speed project car shows up for sale, please let me know.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

The 1 inch lift up front on Lucy looks the best to me!!!

I have played with my torsion bars in the past to raise or lower the front end.  I like the look with the top of the tire at about the same exact height of the fender lip.  From a side view the complete tire would be seen and none of it would be covered by the top of the fender well. 

This picture was with my old tires.  My front end needs to be raised a little, I will play with it this spring.  Thats my son keeping the drivers seat warm.

 :lol2:


Thanks Cody, I feel it best suits me and it's specific to one car, plus it's lucky it works and reads well all while still using my real name, original too, doubt there be the same user name on any other board. :grinno: ;D Hope you get back on track and at a stage where you are happy. Buyers market at the moment mate so it's a good time to be in the hunt, prices have dropped considerably (as you'll know).

Thanks everyone else. Still not sure on the front, I think a slight raise maybe the way to go. I think it will give me the perfect stance, for my tastes. Plus, gives me more clearance! I will keep you posted and post new photos of the new lift. It's marginal but I think perfectionists freaks like us on this board will know. Hood - Yup, that looks good to me mate, nice and light looking, nimble. Good shlt!

Thanks for the input Arcitc. :2thumbs:


Vanished - Really? Cool, will keep an eye out for it.
If you talk to the new owner again please inform him/her about The NZ Mopar Registry.
