Re: need help with my suspension 1970 gmc
Ordered a new set of 47170 and cut 1/2 coil off instead of 1 full coil. It seems to be alot better we will see after a few days.

Re: need help with my suspension 1970 gmc
solid moroso engine mounts and custom built headers. I hear that some of the members are running a bbc chevelle header. I was running a poly engine mount and super comp hooker headers but after installing the solid engine mounts the headers hung to low draging all the time so I built a custom set of fenderwell headers.

Re: need help with my suspension 1970 gmc
Front to rear when taking off and rear to front when stopping. A friend of mine was following me and said when I took a turn it looked like the front tire almost come off the ground. It has alot of movement in the suspension.

Re: need help with my suspension 1970 gmc
So, is it tranfering weight then to the rear under acceleration and then tranfering it to the front under braking? Not sure I follow.
Is it moving weight to the outer front in a corner and lifting the inner rear? Posted via Mobile Device
