Ken, thanks for the fixed link ...
You'd need to have adequate droop in the suspension to utilize all that travel. I doubt your car could even be lifted that much. The Ram-Pro system Fran offers is more than adequate given the suspension limitations. This ain't no Corvette.
Dave,
This ain't no Triangle either.
I took droop into consideration when looking at this other lift kit and it lifts up to 5", not 5" or down. The cylinder is about an inch thick. If it was a real 962 suspension with only a couple inches of total travel that would be a big problem. Frans setup has more room to play with.
Anyway, I will be going with the coil-over mounted kit Fran is using since it fits and is tested, Check out post # 86.
I am going to make thin replaceable Teflon skid rails and place them strategically on the low points under the car to help when I do scrape which is almost unavoidable on a low street car.
Guy's, I'm going to drive this car when it's done. It's not going to be a garage queen. If I need to replace an aluminum skid plate or do a little fiberglass work every once in a while to repair any chips or cracks etc. so be it. You only live once and I'm not leaving this car to someone else after I :angel: to drive it like it was meant to be driven :veryangry: .
Alex,
I'll drive my other car around the Chicago area and plot out all the nicely paved and even roads on my GPS. Then I can make a grid of the Chicago area where I can drive the 962 with lift system down.
