Lowered the Rear end
 

Ok, i'm continueing my education on discover your limits.... I lowered the front suspension including re-indexing the front torsion bars. That went ok.
then,
To quote raceProEngineer- "the rear is much more difficult and takes considerably more time" No joke!

after reading three different published articles and three or four threads I decided it was within my abilities (except the corner balance and alignment).
4 nights later and it's still not right. Getting the da** spring plate stuff loose and off the first time was almost impossible. (Two mechanics; my ass, wayne!)

started out around 27" rear ht now its 24.25". The first attempt put the wheel well on the tire!

Now its about 1/4 above the tire on the rt and 1/2" above the tire on the Lft. Target ht is 25" in the rear.

I have no clue as to how jacked up the camber and Toe-in will be when i'm done. I hope I don't have to drive far to get it balanced and aligned.

It sure looks better though.
Last pic is starting point.

Your OK

Go back and re read the alignment stuff you can set that too. Your almost there! I would suggest getting it close then take a week off. It will go much better after a few days to clear the head!
