The black horse is back on it's hoofs....

Again with new shoes. I did run in to one issue. Apparently the Strange brakes move the wheels farther out and the front tires are rubbing. Time to break out the BFH and gently roll the lip and probably go to a 14" spring, I ran out of adjustment on the coilovers.

are those wheels high horsepower rated

Yep, they even have an SFI sticker on them .

......btw it looks great ....what size on the rear ?

Nice job fella!

10.5 x 29.5. No "W"

Somehow...BFH and "gently roll" don't belong in the same sentence...

Looks very nice.

i think the spindle mount wheels/brakes give you a 1/2" more backspace,just a thought.the BFH would cost a lot less tho.......

Looks really good Doug. Your lift looks just like mine,is it a Eagle?

Thanks a lot guys, we are looking forward to getting back to the track.

Rick, it is an Eagle, first piece of equipment I bought when I built the shop.

The plan was for next weekend Sept. 8th, but I have to work out the issue with the front tire clearance first .

We will as soon as we see how the new suspension works out and I can get a new delay box.

Grandpa..

Most of our local stuff doesn't allow a box...so it's not high on the "gotta do" list..

Yea, I know! It is at the bottom of the list on things to get. The biggest issue is the tire clearance and I really don't like the idea of any body work. I have found another solution and I'm waiting to hear back from Racecraft about it, but it is going to cost a few bucks and time. I know you don't want to drive a car that could possibly shred a tire .
