Im finishing up my winter project and just got it off the jack stands for the first time this year... But it seems to be really stiff in the rear. I put late model resto control arms with comp. engineering drag shocks and 4 cyl. spring in the back. I can sit on the back of the car and it barely moves and im 6' 6 and 235lbs. Any ideas..?

i hope you didnt torque everything down while it was up in the air.

What he said, gotta at least put a jack on the rearend and jack it up to the ride height,then crank everything down.

I don't know if 4 cylinder springs lower the rear, i would check the pinion snubber to see if its sitting on the top of the center section of rear axle, you should have at least 1 inch of clearance.

I did have jack under the rear end when snugged up everything... There is about 1.5 to 2" between the diff. housing and the rubber bump stop. Im gonna go out and loosen everything back up and try it again and see what happens.

The comp engineering shocks....what were they....50/50,70/30,etc??

my bet is the shocks are stiff.i got kybs on mine and i can barely budge the car when i push on it

Thats what Iam wondering if he got the stiffer shock....youll be alright,unless it doesnt hook up....Thats why I like my Strange 10 ways....I can adjust them to whatever.

I have them set at 50/50... They are 3-way adjustable...
