    I have spent an hour on different searches, so please don't say already been answered a million times and look at the pats posts. My question is if my bottom bars are are not level what is the effect on handling/drive. I am not burning rubber and looking for maximum hookup. So if the front of the lower bars are up an inch higher in the front than the rear at ride height is that acceptable. I forgot to put in heading...its triangulated...Thanks all.

  2. If it's really only about an inch, no problem. When you get way off level, you will get wheelbase change and thrust anti-squat, which can be bad. What is the angle of the upper links (viewed from the side) compared to the lowers?

    Top links are level, and bottoms are up an inch in the front, Its in a 31 with as usual not much travel. I think pinion is about 3 deg, I'm trying to keep is close to the trans deg.
