Just ladderbars and coilovers... I have wondered if the frame could handle relocating the weight-bearing suspension point (leafs to coilover). Did you have to beef up the shock mounts?
This is probably old hat to you, but I'd love to learn a little. Thanx and great job!

Could the same principle work on an early? Oh, man, that could be an excellent mod for an early with leafs on all four corners!
Does that coil-over setup improve rear traction (keep the rear glued down and tracking straighter) over the leaf setup? Did you run before with the stock suspension?
Great pics!

Did they use rolled flat stock or pipe for the additional inches? Curious about the holes cut in the floor further up. Did you fill it back in with a lighter panel or is this rig set up full race only and left out? I figure the rear ones are probably battery/fuel cell and the area around the rear is obviously for the suspension improvements. You do some darn good work Dave, very impressive indeed. My hat is off to you.
