60 Man,
Do the air shocks have to have any pressure or can they be run "flat"? As far as controlling ride height-would you inflate the shocks or air bags for this?
Thanks

Alternator Grounding Question

My alternator mount is to an aluminum Edelbrock head. Does this provide sufficient ground or do I need to run a wire from the neg on the alternator to the cast iron block?

I bought Cragars, but the spacing was 8" wheels on back with 5" backspace. This will run 255's or 275s'. 7" wheels on front with 4.5" backspace and running 235's.
