Hey Guys, not knew to site but first time posting. I know I have read it on here before but i cant seem to find it.. I am curious as to where most of you mount your J-bar on the pinion? I have quick change and all the Chassis companies that have setup info online recommend 1/2" to 1" above pinion. I had mine at below pinion and put it even with pinion this weekend. 4" diff. between chassis and pinion. reason for change was to free up car getting in and in center... great getting in now but lost a lot of side bite!!! is there a problem with running J-bar lower on pinion???

the lower you go the more it pins RR into the ground.
go too far and it will keep car off LR and lose forward drive
you may need to stiffen RR spring by spring rubbers to get the side bite back, or lower j-bar back were you had it, and soften LF spring a bit to loosen entry.

Thoughts on raising it on Chassis and leave it on Pinion??
