Subject: [Tigers] Coil over shocks?

I think coil over shocks in addition to leaf springs goes into the territory of ‘helper springs’. Usually for carrying a heavier load. Adjustable coil over shocks (where you can raise the ride height) will pre-load the leaf springs and, in my opinion, result in a harsh ride and possibly some irrational behavior of the rear end. Fitment may also be an issue. Extended shackles may be your answer. 2 inches is quite a bit and I’m not a fan of longer shackles but it will raise the body. Maybe someone has had more experience with coil overs than I have. I use QA1 coil overs on my street rod with a 4 link set up.

Why?  Are you putting in larger diameter wheels?  Might look quite a bit odd.  And similar sized wheels in front would hit when turning.

More info, The car has original springs, it has dropped down in the rear
especially on my side , I think it's a weight issue. I've had 15 inch
Panasport's on for some time with no isssues. And I had air shocks for
awhile, harsher ride, looked good though!  So, Mr King is probably wright
new springs and a good new rear shock will keep that tire off my fender..

Hi Lance,

I had the rear springs re-arched and raised the rear-end about three (3) inches.  It cost less than $100.

Lots of aspects factor into rubbing.  You stated originally there was no ru=
bbing. And, you thought it might be a weight issue. If so removed what must=
 be the added weight. If it is spring sag then they will need to be replace=
d or re-arced. Perhaps a leaf is broken???  There is the possibility that t=
he Panhard rod bushings have worn. Thus the prescribed arc of the Panhard r=
od is no longer holding the tires off an area..., or the slop is allowing t=
he axle to move and rub.

What type of driving causes the rub. Bumps, turning? Where are the tires ru=
bbing? Inner fender (and if there on the inside or outside wall). Or is it =
the wheel opening lip that is rubbing? If it is the wheel opening lip there=
 are services that can deal with this and generally not affect the paint. W=
hat is the wheel offset and the tire size? You might be near the edge of sl=
im margins.  Longer shackles may flex even more and it will alter the pinio=
n angle and roll steer. I agree with a previous poster raising the rear of =
the Tiger upwards towards 2=E2=80=9D- 3=E2=80=9D is excessive.

I know I said that.  But, now that I see these other posts, if the rear
springs are sagging that much, 2-3" might get it back to stock!

I would now add a different take.  Does anyone know how to make sure the
springs don't get re-arched too much?  Or replacement springs aren't too
high?

I'd hate for Lance to follow one of these suggestions and end up looking
like a 4x4 in the rear.
