Joey, have you done anything to increase the suspension travel at either end? If you compare the wheel center position to the body on each car, you can see the one on the left is much, much, lower, in terms of using up available suspension travel. In fact I didn't think you could go that low!!!

I guess with the 17s you can raise the spindles quite a bit more than the standard 19mm, but the only option at the rear is to shorten the shock, to regain travel.

That's the too low "cholo" stance. Before you put your mo-jo on it.

Yes thank you! With the tears I put thicker torsion bars in and I'm running bilstien hd all around.

In the front I raised the spindles and used thicker torsion bars. It's a little stiffer but still safe to take my mom put to dinner in.
