Is anyone Tilting Shocker subs?Do they work good when tilted or do they go bad.Was thinking about putting a 4" spacer in at the two bolts at the cowl.My only concern with this is I can't pull the rubber body mounts because are rule state we have to have all rubber body mounts in place.

What we have done on one was took the rubber mounts out and put a hockey puck in place, 2 hockey pucks seemed like to much

Yeah that's all we did, it's kind of tiliting. You could definetly tell because usually we suck it tight, the car that is fresh is the one that is tilted

raising the gap at the firewall on a shocker isnt tilting the frame, all that is doing is lifting the body up since it is a sub frame car and not a full frame car. To create the affect of tilting you would have to either cold bend the frame or cut and reweld. for all you guys that think raising the gap will work put a level on your frame before and after and you will see nothing has changed

This past weekend we ran a shocker with a Mo-Par pointy on the nose and the front never even started to go up.This car won first place also.The sub did however push straight back,but the car and sub was a pre ran from last year that won a feature last year also with a 74 newyorker flat bumper on the nose. I'm not sure if next one will be done this way or not,we are just experimenting with new ideas again.

Now I know that this may just be the engineer in my talking, but I am pretty sure that changes the angle of the frame, which is the original subject of the thread. I do, however, make no claims that this will help or hurt the performance of said vehicle.

Even if it is weld at the doors or the rear mounts are in stock location it still wont change the angle of the frame if you believe it does put a level on it and try it.

I would have to agree with Chevysucks on this one. I don't see how putting spacers in the core suport makes the frame go down. There is no way to do so unless you cold bend it or cut and weld it. After you have the torsion bars up than there is no way the body is going to push the frame down. it doesn't matter if the body is welded or not. It may look tilted like the fords do from the side view but there is no change in the frame.
