Sounds like you're rolling up the springs. Radius rod should eliminate that.
Be careful of the geometry--I built a set once that made my rear end hop
like mad. They need to allow travel in the proper arc. I built the first set
below the axle, connecting to the spring perch and a bracket extension from
the forward spring shackle. Looked lovely, didn't work.  Peyote's are above
the axle on a fairly long extension and allow the axle to swing, but not
rotate.

  Greetings
             Got a problem. But I guess I ought to intoduce myself first.
my 
name is Dave Miller. I,ve been hillclimbing and autocrossing with the Blue 
Mt. region SCCA going on the 3rd year running E production with some sucess.
              Now the problem------Installed a competion clutch in my 62 TR4

and developed major spring deflection. The front of the dif and rear
universal 
hit the top rear of the driveshaft tunnel, taking off and into 2cd. Gee what

an discosable noise.  Have 4:11 locker ,30 weight in shocks, comp
springs,1.75 
alum. block to lower. Should I concider a radius rods from the axil u 
boltplates going forward ?  Heavier oil in the shocks.   
                      SUGGESTIONS
