use my adjustable lower control arms to....
 
Pull the rear tires forward of stock location so the 27" tires wont rub wen they expand at the track.

Is that A Stupid Idea? And Why?

its what they are for so you can center the tires i did mine just remember if they are not 100% the same you will screw the alignment

why does yours rub my 27.5 don't??

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-05-2010 10:42 PM

wen they swelled up top track they JUST rubbed the bumper. my buddies do too? what tires are you running?

My84Z 05-05-2010 10:50 PM

hoosier quick time pro's 27.5 x 11.5 x15

Hmm my 27 11.5 15 hoosiers rubbed. ill have to relook over my rear end placement. might bring it a few turns closer the the front wheels.

You will have to tweek your geometry with a 9" rear and 27" tires.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-06-2010 01:12 AM

i suppose. the rear is sitting at stock location to a 7.5 so even if i had the 27's on a 7.5 i think i would have the same issue. right?

Remember John has a 12 bolt and you have a 9" in your car. Not much but there may be some differences.

BrokenFeather78 05-06-2010 01:15 AM

You might. I can imagine when you're throwing all the torque from that monster at the rear that your suspension preload is quite high.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-06-2010 03:55 AM

yeah ill have to revisit the rear end geometry. who has a pinion angle finder i can use?!?!

I borrowed one from mom and pop auto. So I'm sure you can do the same pizza.
