Stock front control arms. The rears are edelbrock uppers and lowers with strange double adjustable shocks.

Do what a few guys did in the picks above for limiters. Try 3"-2.5" of front end travel. That should calm those wheelies down.

I just measure from the center of the center cap on the rim to the bottom of the fender when u jack the car up in the front crossmember. Just measure the turns u put on the limiters and make it the same for both sides and that will get you in the ballpark.

Ditto. My wheelies are no where that extreme but I can tell when I limit the travel/tie down. I also put on single adjustable shocks up front. In retro I should have done double adj. ? Prolly pull bars off now and loose some weight. Lol

Well, after he gets done phucking around with the shocks, then maybe he will need the correct answer?

The problem is on the front of the car NOT the back of it. The shocks he has are probably fine, he needs to limit the front end travel to keep the front of the car from coming up. From the video the shocks look loose also.

He has a car that makes power not a slow azz dragster that wouldn't pull the from tires if you sprayed it.

And where is the power to the ground coming from?



My slow dragster pulls the wheels, how does the shock thing work for that?



Tell him how much travel he has with the wheels in the air, whether 10" or 3 feet off the ground?

When you learn to scale your chassis maybe you can tell him how to do his?

1/2-13 stainless nut TIG welded to the A-arm, 1/2-13 stainless bolt with a large flat washer welded to the head of the bolt so the rubber bumper has something flat to bump against. I cut a screwdriver slot in the end of the bolt so you can make adjustments from the top, another 1/2-13 nut locks the adjustment.
