    Raise you right front by using a softer right front spring... the key is too keep the same load numbers when the right front is at full compression dynamically which can be done if a softer spring is used with higher ride height (more preload). You shouldn't even need to do much with the left rear (don't worry about static wedge numbers - you can throw them out the window anyway when the left rear is at full drop dynamically). Scale numbers are a thing of the past now.... the only numbers that matter are left side and rear percentages then load numbers when the car is at its dynamic state. It sucks because i spent $1500 on scales a couple years ago and now everything is setup on the spring smasher and I don't even need the scales much.

      how do you scale the car for rear percentage with the RF and LR no longer at ride height? My thoughts would be to use another set of shocks and springs that have the same spring rate at correct ride height? Thanks

          Ride heights don't effect percentage beyond the tiny amount from wheelbase change.

                    I'm going out on a limb here and post this: Actually surprised it hasn't been deleted yet.




                    Let the theories begin, LOL.

                      What did that car do right before he moved forward? Was it still on the lift?

                          Tungsten hood pins on the right side? I watched it about five times and still can't fathom what I just saw.....

                            The crew guy lifted the car at the left rear so it would clear the lift when he pulled off. Rumleys stuff is usually really soft on the rf softer than most
