This is all I got now, ill take some tomorrow. Thanks! I'm going to take an upper off and see if it settles. If it does, I'll know it's the uppers and can turn the ears. Thanks Kruisr

You may need to look at the front to figure it out.
Did it sag on one side before you worked on the boxes?

Anti did you resolve? I have same exact arms, same exact problem. They worked in my '98 GT, but having this issue in my '97 swap project.

I think Anti found the springs were too tall. Pull your springs and disconnect your shocks, then try to cycle the rear suspension. If there is a bind you will see or feel it.

I have the same arms as well. (or at least they look the same)

By pics I meant, pics of the torque box reinforcement install. Both above and below (below having the most impact on bind).

Thanks Kruisr. I did that...took all but the arms off and it went up, but tough to rule out some binding because I was using a floor jack. I'm going to take the uppers off and see if it compresses under weight. It certainly isn't the lowers.

Here is what mine looks like now. these are 26" tires. i also found out the guy sold me a new edge rear end instead of a SN95 so i had to buy a new housing and some shorter axles..... the first time i launched it i got into the quarter panels.

Thanks Anti. It rolled in on these springs so ill rule out binding in the uppers before exploring options with springs. It's one or the other. Appreciate your reply
