Rear suspension setup

Hello, I have purchased the kit that includes an adjustable tracking arm for my rearend. It is a weld on but what i am wondering is should i weld it on with weight on the suspension or relaxed. It has alot of adjustment but don't want to screw it up either!! Any info would be great
Thanks Justin

Re: Rear suspension setup

You want to do it with the weight on the suspension, and to have the bar as parallel to the ground as possible too.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.

Re: Rear suspension setup

Set it up & determine all final positions w/full weight @ ride height. Weld it in w/the vehicle @ the best height to safely do the work.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
