Weird Chassis problem ?? Whenever I use jack stands under the car I put them under the subframes, one in back of the front tire and one in front of the back tire. The car has always sat evenly on all 4 jack stands.
Last night I put the car up on the jacks and the passenger side rear subframe is about 3/4" higher than the jack. All 4 jacks are the same exact height. The front 2 are sitting on the jacks and the drivers rear is sitting on the jack but the passenger rear is not touching. Its just sitting on 3 of the 4.
I have BMR welded subframes and a 6 point roll cage. Last time I had the car on the jacks and it sat evenly was when I was before I ran those big *** 29.5" ET Drags.
Is it possible I bent the frame on my car? Even with welded subframes and a 6 point cage? I only dyno'd 445 RWTQ.
What do you guys think? Has this happened to anyone else?
Can I get it fixed somehow? and will it cost me ET like this?
Thanks,
Lee

Nope, I seriously doubt anything's bent... The car is just so stiff now, that the chassis isn't flexing enough to "level" out on the 4 jackstands... I doubt the two locations in the front of the car are 100% equidistant from the ground, so you see the car only rest on three stands instead of all four.
FWIW, mine does the same thing all the time, especially with the Wolfe anti-roll bar on the rear.
