MP pinnion snubber making contact

[Nacho-RT74]

I just installed the MP pinion snubber I got nice priced on an auction. I have 1" lowering blocks on my car. At this moment the pinion snubber is allmost ( if not yet ) in contact with body underneath

Something wrong with that ?

well no , for track use you want it close or touching but evey bump on the street is going to smash it inot the floor , I realy do not recommend them on the street , it gets old fast .

Yes I thought on that, but if with my 400 the axle was getting lot of wind ups when giving gas, I can't imagine now with the stroker. It will be very violent.

Heavy duty springs will help too as I'm sure you already know.  Those snubbers do run pretty tight to the floor so it will be as CP says over every bump during normal driving.

yes I was thinking on add one more leaf too, between the main one and the rest. won't be right away but is on one of my next steps allong with some upgrade on brakes ( perforated front disc and good quality rear and front pads/bands )

I ran through a couple sets of springs and snubber set-ups trying to control the wind-up on my (former) Charger. Once I installed the drag radials, wheel hop became a serious problem.

As stated, a really effective snubber set-up just doesn't work on the street. You'll compress the discs between your vertebra.

Good shocks are a big part of the equation. Worn shocks can't control the wrap, even with a mild motor and street tires.

FWIW, I ultimately installed a Competition Engineering Slide A Link along with some Rancho adjustable shocks. Problem solved. I ended up with more hook than clutch.
