go back and look at the pics of the blue/white 79 150 I posted.


Do you see 9" of radius arm drop? No. I see about 3-4" of drop in addition to the factory hangers - which are the same as the ones on my red 79 that has 0" lift.

okay,

If you have a line that is parallel with the ground

You move the right side down, oh I don't know, say 9 inches for example..

To keep this line parallel with the ground how far down would you want to move the left side?
