@kellyfegter9605 if you compare the chevell to the metric front clips... the spring centers are similar, the metric is approximately 1/4" wider, the front is approximately 1-1/2" taller on the front of the horns and the kickout/side rails the metric is narrower by approximately 2"... the next thing you should look at are the mounting points on the clip for the lowers. Then check the distance from the pivot point to the center of the spring pocket, followed by the distance to the balljoint... the front track widths are comparable. Sooo IMO, the length of the lowers and the length from pivot to the spring pocket is the important info... then compare that to the rest of the setup.
Thanks Jay for all the valuable insight and knowledge. Always enjoy the critical info discussed in all your videos. What are your thoughts on a 2 link car allowed to run swing arms? Seems to be pretty popular at the tracks in my area.
The swing arm thing is harder for me because it has been 20 years + and then we didn't do it that much. I think what guys like about it is how it loads the tire on the RR.
@@jaynealgofast I feel that swing arms were great when the dirt technology was a little bit less advanced. So it would make sense why it performs so well in the 2 link world. A handful of guys in my area have used it to their advantage but it could just be a monkey see monkey do like you’ve mentioned before.
Great video! Thank you for all you do! In regards to the lr preload, are at track adjustments a good option or should the preload be left alone? What phase does the preload affect the most? What is the effect of more or less preload.
Yes we make this adjustment at the track, the general adjustment to add or remove LR wheel load. We are using it to hold the LR up is the main effect, but we can get drive from it too.

Thanks jay! I know I have gained a ton of knowledge and speed with your videos. We really enjoy that and your shocks!
Thank you so much.
Thank You. Next year will be my 1st year in the IMCA mod class... I definitely appreciate the knowledge that you're sharing!
Thank you, hope we can help you next year.
@jaynealgofast no doubt... you keep making the videos, I'll keep watching them.
@@jaynealgofast you recommend a 175# LR... why not a 100-125# LR spring?
What front springs would you suggest with metric front clip?

Thanks Jay! I hope to be working with you soon.
Sounds great, good luck in what you do.
Great information 👍 thank you
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome videos
Glad you like them! thanks
Do you sipe or sand your
tires?
Really awesome videos
Learning lots on here
Yes when allowed we do, the better the tire is (fresh rubber) and good heat range, it will work better.
