It's not bottoming.  It's topping.  TRs are underslung cars.  If you 
raised the
ride height, you reduced the amount of droop allowed before the axle 
strikes the
frame.

Back around 1972 or so, a friend of mine bought a real beater (but good 
runner) of a TR3A. The one thing he REALLY wanted to do was to get some 
big old long spring shackles and raise up the rear end like all the '57 
Chev's in town. Took a bit of explaining to convince him that, well, it 
might NOT work on the TR.... ;-)

Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
