[Tigers] Fwd: Suspension issues(maybe)

3 inches up in the back over the 86 inch wheelbase will decrease your caster by .67 degrees.  Losing caster can make the car wander and not track striaight.

Or heck, maybe it makes it better!  But either way, I'd be super careful.

Went for a very short ride because of time restrictions and found the car mushy in front, It felt so  different I would describe it as loose in front, better check the shocks in front also, they are only Aaaa 25 years old. Could be 35.  But really any other ideas. Beau
