I bought a 7inch bolt for the rears of my corvette, looks good but Its pretty much maxed out the leaf/bottom out, rides rough which I don’t mind just wondering if there’s anything I should worry about mechanically, will be installing air suspension in the future
Big issues I’m aware of include the attachment screws at the rear of each front fender to the rocker panels. Touch them to a driveway swale edge and you have ‘flying fenders’ at speed.
Also be wary of the radiator lower mount frame, already prone to smacking the ground and curbs.
The suspension’s geometry is now compromised and dangerous, don’t try to use the cars handling capability as the engineers intended, you’ll regret it !

What wheels and tires are those and do you have the specs, size and back spacing?
