They are on. I don't have stock suspension in back of my car FWIW.

I only ran once this year and broke an axle.

HD Axles for 2017.

I am putting gears and a trutrac in mine right now just trying to make up my mine to lower it while I have it apart. Just don't want to hurt the sixty foot times by lowering it. What do you think John. Thanks Jerry Davis

Well, my car is now lower in back than I wanted, so I am going to raise it back up some. I have to do some measuring.

I also went with Hendrix Engineering offset poly bushings.

There are a lot of opinions about lowering springs and drag racing.

I had 1" lowering springs on all 4 corners of my Camaro and it made the car look great but when I installed the BMR Drag Suspension Pack in the rear and the Lakewood 90/10 shocks in the front they had to come off for everything to fit up right. I am back with stock springs now on all 4 corners. I guess eventually I will get around to selling the PFADT lowering springs.

Can you give more details as to what didnt fit? Did the springs and shocks not fit together? What didnt work out with the bmr drag pack and lowering springs?
