Never had a tubbed 4 link car. Now that motor, trans and rear are set, will be looking into doing something with the way the car is set up in rear over the winter. Car has modified coil springs and small gas shocks. Hits hard on Michigans crappy roads, and I don't think I have more than an inch of travel before it bottoms out. Was thinking of a coil over, but don't have any idea of what size spring load to use and don't have access to scales to weigh car front and back, just know the back is lighter. Have mig/tig and plasma, so any idea's would be appreciated. Car is not caged & driven on street. New Gen 6 502, 400th, 3800 stall, 4:56 gears 33x19.5 rear tires... thanks & have pics in my profile on home page if that helps.
Here is a photo link.
