I know my wheel/tire stick out farther than stock. I also do not have bump stops anymore. But I don't think either one of those things are an issue because the car should not squat enough to rub the tires or hit the bump stops to begin with. If a car is hitting the bump stops on the launch then something is not right. It's for hitting a pot hole or large bump.

I am buying a 9" early next year. I will try the short torque arm for sure. I will also so a anti roll bar even tho I drive it on the street. I have a cdl so I don't get crazy on the street drag racing or hitting the back road corners.

Does anyone know which 9" housing has the lowest holes for the LCAs?

 

I was looking at the Viking shocks. Are those as good as some say ?

 

You should be able to get a 9" housing tailored to what you need. I do all of my own housings and such, so I don't know what is offered out there. Just get one with a lot of adjustment options so that you don't run into an issue down the road.

As far as your housing goes, there are companies that have brackets that will weld on to your existing factory bracket and give you all of the adjustment that you need.

I don't recall what torque arm that you have, but if you drop the front of the torque arm in combination with an anti-roll bar, you may not even have to mess with the housing.

 

Does it squat with the stock springs in? It may look "stupid" but it will restore some of the lost LCA angle which will increase anti-squat.

 

I'm not sure if the car squats with the springs. As soon as I got the car I tore it apart to start my turbo build. I just put them back in to see how much it would lift the year. Yes I made my lca in a much better position. Weather hasn't allowed me to take the car out.

I have a stock torque arm right now. I will be going with a body mounted torque arm this winter.

I've been looking at the trick chassis housing. Looks nice for a good price. It appears to have a extra hole on their lca bracket so in hoping it lowers my lca down farther than the typical 3 inches like others.
