Can't you measure the distance to the front wheel arch from the floor and let enough air out of the tires to drop the front of the car the two inches you would get with the spindles and go from there. Love it LOW -

Good idea. I had the thought of leaving rear aired out and take front wheels off and lower it with a jack to see also

Definitely drop spindles and adjust your 4 link a little to center the rear wheels in the wheel well and it will center the axle in the notch better for more drop (will have to raise the upper bag mount some more) and also it should pull the drive shaft out of the transmission too.

You can get more weld if you move it to the top. And you dont have to do the dreaded "weld upside down" . If it's too low, you can always put a spacer on top of the bag.

Wow.. Way to dig back into this. As long as you're this far into it, I'd opt for getting the 4"+ drop in the rear. That will look sick. --- I may have some 1" around here I used for the challenger bracing if you run into a pinch.

I have the same problem. Due to changing my front tire set up. Went with a smaller front tire to keep it from rubbing. And even though mine ALMOST lays out the ass end sits slightly higher. I think the stock rear shocks bottom out. So when I drop my gas tank to fix the leak I'll install shorter shocks to see if that fixes my problem.
