MY TIRES ARE SITTING PARALLEL TO MY REAR FENDER WELL.I HAVE 2" OF SPACE BEFORE HITTING THE FENDER WELL.THE TIRES ARE SITTING ON 4 1/2 BACKSPACING DRAGLITES,

I NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH MY SUSPENSION SYSTEM.I HAVE GRANATELLI UPPER AND LOWER ADJUSTABLE CONTROL ARMS.THE BOTTOM CONTROL ARMS ARE ALREADY JACKED UP ALL THE WAY WICH IS WHAT GIVES ME 2" OF CLEARANCE.I RUN THIS CAR ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAY AND THE TIRES ARE NEW I NOTICED AFTER THE FIRST DAY RUNNING THE REAR WELL CAME DOWN RUBBING MY TIRES.KNOW I WONT RUN THE CAR TILL I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF STANGS WITH THE SAME SET UP.ONE THING THAT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR YOU TO KNOW IS THAT AM RUNNING CRAPPY STOCK SPRINGS AND GABRIEL GAS SHOCKS THERE TERRIBLE,I REALIZE THIS. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO STIFF UP MY SUSPENSION.DO I GO WITH DRAG SHOKS SUCH AS LAKEWOOD 70/30 60/40 50/50.DO I GO WITH A DRAG LAUNCH SPRING FOR EXAMPLE EIBACH WITH AN AIR BAG THERE MUST BE A WAY TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION CAUSE I SEE LOTS OF BANGERS OUT THERE WIT THE SAME SET UP!

Some guys are clearancing the fenders or even curing out the edge to get the room they need to clear the tires.

do you mean fender rolling,ive bing looking into it that might be a posibillity.I could'nt imagine beatin on my inner fender walls,in that case I'd much rather get them tubbed out as a carpenter am very maticulous and like to see things done precise.would'nt dare beat on my inner walls for clearance.am going with competition engineering adjustable drag shocks and an aftermarket rear and front springs am also running skinnies up front and chucking the power steering have a new flaming river manuel rack from maximum motor sports need to do more reaserch on the best set up for springs for drag racing

Roll the lips, cut them or go to larger backspacing (5-5.5&quot
