My challenge with my Chevelle is that I had to eliminate wheelhop. Is there a way you guys got rid of that without a set of ladder bars or "no-hop" bars?

air bags worked well back then also. Some 50/50 shocks too.

The Ram Air IV Gto from Harrisburg that was raced just had the air bags inside the springs.

With street tires.... I used a set of QA1 12 position adjustable shocks. I painted them black so they're not a noticable. That eliminated all wheelhop. When I switched to Mickey Thompson ET Street tires.....the wheelhop came back.

The bottom line it the upper control arms MUST be higher on the rearend then the body.

Hope that helps, Kurt
