Fiftee3's suspension & bagging project

[Hampshire]

I have the "other" JW Rodgarage IFS on mine. 1-3/4" greater track and only 2"+ down from stock height - though if you like them lower, you can use drop spindles as I used standard (not dropped) spindles & coil overs....

No notching, good clearance to the oil pan & I don't have to cut up my fender inners to clear the shock towers.

So I have to start of by saying that the talent on this web site is unreal. I actually thought of removing my build as there are so many amazing builds here. The documentation is so good. But, as always, every photo can count and maybe mine will help someone else in the future!

Today I removed the motor and trans. Removed the front/rear spring mounts. Wow! were those rivets hard to knock out. Took a little effort, but I got em! Also cut and ground my boxing plates to fit.

I do have a question. Where is the frame considered level from to back, at the point on my frame where the level is sitting?



because I want to be able to level the cross member front to back as well as side to side...

Fiftee3, I would say yes.

The JW Rod garage instructions are a bit unclear. Their instructions step one advise to set the frame with the same rake as vehicle will have when completed.

They say...
Support the car/chassis on four sturdy jackstands. Make sure the chassis is level side-to-side, and is at the fore-aft rake you intend to run the car at.

Then a few steps later they say to have frame level side to side and front to rear.

If someone who has installed JW unit steps in with advice I sure defer to them.

Good progress!
