Hi and thanks for your time!
A few years ago, someone told me I could easily "crank up" the front of my original 68 Satellite if I wanted to.
Is that doable?
If not, do you know of an alternative?

Thank you!

If it has torsion bars, you can turn the bolts under the forward end to adjust front ride height. While the factor does have a specification for the front (and rear) ride heights, modified cars may not always follow those specs.

Mark the original bolt position and then adjust both sides to the height you want (count the number of turns). Drive around and see how it feels. You can always return it to the original settings if you don't like it.

When you adjust the two bolts in the lower control arms lift the front at the K member with the tires off the ground. This will take tension off of the bolt and allow for easier turning. If you make a large change an alignment will help steering ease and prevent premature tire wear.

 

Man! Thank you for your response... and so fast :-)

Thank you as well for such a fast reply :-)

Just remember what Coronet 500 mentioned. When you crank on your torsion bars it will tilt the tires inward so if you leave it that way make sure you get an alignment job.
