how do you guys shim in the all the steering linkage and front bumper, body mounts and everything else that goes on the rails after you've maked them lean out like that?

OK I'll ask.Originally posted by skandalouz@Nov 8 2003, 11:19 PM
I don't see why it would be a problem anyways. all you are doing is rolling the frame rails out so the SAI and other suspension angles change to affect the jounce and rebound of the suspension.
I think it was more... " my belly collapsed, what can I do to repair it instead of replacing the whole frame..."Originally posted by Indy64@Nov 10 2003, 05:16 PM
What I want to know is..........How the hell did they come up w/ this idea. Not that I'm questioning it by any means. But who, one day, was sitting around and goes "hey, I know, lets split the frame and that'll add inches"...?
I'm sure you could ask this question about a ton of stuff, but just was curious.

Have you ever had a vehicle that has excessive bumpsteer problems?? its the same thing. Most of these vehicle only take 3/16" to move the whole suspension geometry 1 degree. and that is a lot. when you split the belly to move each side out about 4-7 degrees, which decreases the SAI ( steering axis inclination). Therefore when there is load on the springs it want to shoot up faster and with more force ( same as with bumpsteer when your going down the road). jounce is when the suspension compresses, and rebound is when it goes back up. Get it, or does your brain hurt!![/b][/quote]Originally posted by skandalouz+Nov 10 2003, 04:31 PM--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (skandalouz @ Nov 10 2003, 04:31 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by [email protected] 9 2003, 11:02 PM
