    Default Building wedge into frame?

    I'm building a new pure stock and wondering if I should bend the frame to build wedge into the car before I start putting the cage in? rules do not allow spring spacers or weight jacks.Has anyone done this? How did it end up working out? How far did you bend it?Any advice would help greatly. thanks

    put frame on 4 equal height stands, then raise lf and rr another 3/4 inch. Frame will now rock
    corner to corner, either tie rf and lr down or pile weight on each corner till frame is touching
    all 4 stands again, then weld cage in, this will give u a good start on wedge.

    Ill have to agree, I dont think I would bend the frame. To easy to get whatever wedge you want by other means.

    Find a stock heavier spring. There are many out there. Spring rubbers allowed??? Stock bump stops raised works great. Also a SWAY BAR!!! Light springs in front 350-500 with sway bar 1 1/4" and you can put it anywhere. Also you will be playing with lf sway bar adjustments. Meaning dry you will untie lf sway bar and tacky it's equal both sides. Just do it!Message me
    When it seems all eyes are on you when you're wearing a new pair of jeans you wonder why everyone thinks you look so darn good in them. When taking them off you notice the sticker still on the pant leg.
