I thought about that, but the arms are stamped left and right, but that doesn't mean they are right.

How loose is your torsion.. You might be able to raise the back.. Mine do the opposite because my torsion was too high..

WHERE THE SHOCK BRACKETS ALREADY ON THE ARMS OR DID YOU ADD THEM ? IT LOOKS LIKE THE ARMS POSSIBLY ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE IF YOU ADDED THE BRACKETS .WILL THEY STRAIGHTEN UP IF YOU JACK IT UP OFF THE GROUND ?

Added the shock brackets on them. they are marked left and right, but I think i will flip them anyway just to see what happens. Will the placement of the washers on the pivot bolt cause this?

is it possible that the pivot mounts are lower than the centerline of the tube? Or if the pivot is not square with the torsion?

that looks much better to me, at least it will gain ground clearance like that and the tires should also flatten out as the suspension compresses or add weight to the buggy per driver/passenger, etc.

I know if you have those inner pivots off even a hair, it will show big time at the wheel. I've done this before! :roll:

They were stamped left and right, when I put them on the first time. I looked from the back, but who knows what they did when they were made.
