Re: Overbuilding - Looking for advice on how not to

As Low Eco mentioned, I found the Make It Handle Thread, read the entire thing and then started researching around in the Suspension Forum for a long time

So next to come was the rear suspension

With everything stripped out of the rear frame for the axle rebuild I went ahead and flipped my stock trailing arm brackets to raise the pivot point of the arm and have it act more like factory geometry etc..

I also stich welded my factory trailing arms to stiffen them up more and installed new poly graphite bushings from Early Classic Enterprises

And a really good post in Gringoloco's build thread of the effects of the flip: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...444746&page=37
